WEIRD FORMAT WEDNESDAY: EDVARD MUNCH ETCHINGS, 1950Perhaps this format isn’t quite as weird, this item contains a portfolio, several loose etchings from Munch, in a wrapper and matching box. There is also a separate booklet with contextual information.Munch is best known for his work “The Scream.” He was a Norwegian artist whose work dealt with the depth of human psychology.“As early as 1885, Edvard Munch felt the need to develop a bolder and more simplified style of painting, which we have now come to know as ‘expressionism’. He was one of those artists who reacted against naturalism, and led a movement which has since dominated modern art. It took Munch ten years to produce his own expressionist style, which was the formative influence of the German School of 1902, and which later in 1940 influenced American experimental art. Both as a painter and as a graphic artist, Munch searched to express the hitherto unplumbed depths of the human soul.” -Johan H.
