This review is from: Edvard Munch: The Man and His Art (Hardcover)
This is the first great publication to appear in English as a comprehensive monograph on the artist, reprinted in 1990 after iits initial appearance in English in 1979.
Why is this book important? Ragna Thiis Stang is the first Norwegian art pofessional voice to write on Munch in the post WWII era, and have her book translated into English. Moreover, she was the daughter of Jens Thiis, long time friend and supporter of Edvard Munch, which gives her voice unique authenticity. Her book is unique in its percept and its execution. A review of her Bibliography in the book will illustrate that Munch is not known in English until herself. Tragically she was killed in a car crash a year before the English version was printed. This book was reprinted by Abbeville in 1990. See my Munch in English list in the MOMA show review: Edvard Munch: The Modern Life of the Soul |
