Follows the role of angst in Edvard Munch's unprecedented body of work and its enduring influence on contemporary art.
Angst. Everyone knows it and fears it--regardless of cultural and social background--yet it is also essential to life, as a driving force and source of energy. Hardly any painter has captured this aspect of the human condition so powerfully as Edvard Munch, the artist whose unique body of work leaves no one unmoved. A pioneer of modernism, Munch was able to address the raw, wild, and immediate aspects of human existence. In his works, he places human feelings and a trenchant critique of civilization at the center. This comprehensive and opulent document of a universal emotion demonstrates the importance of the Norwegian master in all his facets.Author Biography
