{"product_id":"munch-in-his-own-words-9783791328836","title":"Munch: In His Own Words","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book Munchs own soul is laid bare through the translation and analysis of diaries  literary sketches and letters which have never been published in the English language. Preserved in the archives of the Munch Museum in Oslo to whom they were presented by the artist himself  these writings give a unique insight into one of the most fascinating artistic minds of the twentieth century. Munch was as influenced by the literary and philosophical context of turn-of-the-century Europe as he was by his artistic milieu  and by his own admission  several of his major works started life as literary sketches. Beautifully illustrated with drawings  paintings  and contemporary photography  this book presents an intimate portrait of the artists life - the early death of his mother  his childhood illnesses  his tragic love affair - through his own philosophical and literary representation of it. Interweaving Munchs artistic and literary experiences these texts provide a commentary on the artists works  on his own personal philosophy  on the work of contemporaries (Van Gogh among others)  and on the sensibilities of his friends and family. Expertly contextualised by Poul Erik Tojner Munch: In His Own Words brings the world of the artist vividly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647887859765,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791328832","price":30.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791328836.jpg?v=1781698932","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/munch-in-his-own-words-9783791328836","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
