Abstract

Gauguin's and Munch's artistic roots extend back to Realism and Impressionism, an era when artists were preoccupied with capturing reality as the eye saw it. Both these artists rejected such an approach and instead, in each their own way, helped bring about a new movement in art: Symbolism. This new style merged elements from visible reality with personal visions and fantasies, something that resulted in pictures whose meaning could be fairly enigmatic and open to interpretation. After having worked for several years with the medium of painting (and in Gauguin's case, sculpture as well), both artists began to appreciate and explore the endlessly creative possibilities that were inherent in printmaking - Gauguin in 1889 and Munch in 1894. They both transcended the genre's conventional limits to create ground-breaking prints where the technique underlined the fundamental aspects of the image in a way only a true master could execute. Yet the two differed markedly from each other in their style of printing. The greatest similarity is their inexhaustible interest in experimentation, as expressed most fully in their woodcut technique. Whereas Gauguin was more focused on details, however, Munch often reduced his images to their absolute minimum. Exhibition: Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway (17.02.-22.04.2018).

Abstract

"Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is best known today as a painter, but his reputation was in fact established through his prints, which were central to his creative process. His printmaking was experimental and innovative, and he continually revisited the subjects of his paintings in striking prints, in which he evoked a wide range of emotion and mood through the use of varied techniques. Munch's early life in the industrial town of Kristiania (renamed Oslo in 1925) was marked by sickness and poverty. His first works centred on the expression of deep emotional experiences, specifically the deaths of his mother and teenage sister when he was growing up, as well as passionate yet unhappy love affairs of which his deeply religious father disapproved. Encouraged by his encounters with a Bohemian society of artists, writers and poets, he developed a visual landscape that was a radical deviation from the slick society portraits and grand Scandinavian landscapes then so much in vogue. His efforts attracted considerable attention and much criticism, and he practised with little financial success as a painter for ten years before he started to gain his reputation as a profoundly innovative printmaker. Written by a team of acknowledged experts, and with an interview by writer Karl Ove Knausgaard, this book will shed new light on the production of some of Munch's most remarkable works." --
