EDVARD MUNCH - DIETER BUCHHART LYDIA EDER RICHA...

In dialogue with Edward Munch-discover the many ways the expressionist painter's work has
influenced modern and contemporary artists. While Munch's pessimistic  melancholy world view
crucially defines our understanding of his work  many important postwar and contemporary
artists have drawn inspiration from several aspects of his oeuvre. This richly illustrated book
explores how nine such artists -Francis Bacon  Georg Baselitz  Louise Bourgeois  Miriam Cahn 
Peter Doig  Marlene Dumas  Tracey Emin  Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol-engaged with Munch's work
at different points in  or throughout  their careers. It features elaborate reproductions of
sixty works by Munch juxtaposed with those inspired by him. Readers discover how Baselitz
cunningly pays tribute to his artistic hero  how Tracey Emin's practice  like Munch's  is
autobiographical  both drawing from their personal torment to create their unnerving works  how
Marlene Dumas was drawn to the expressiveness of Munch's portraits  how Louise Bourgeois' works
are illustrative of Munch's fixation on fear and isolation  how Francis Bacon modeled Screaming
Pope after Munch's most renowned painting  and how Peter Doig draws on Munch's radical
treatment of pigments and materiality. Essays by leading scholars detail each artist's unique
preoccupation with Munch and offer a focused exploration of the ways women artists in
particular were inspired by his examinations of loneliness  fear  and trauma.
