Edvard Munch (1863–1944)

Overview

Forty pieces from a private Norwegian collection of the elegant woodcuts of Edvard Munch are presented in this collection and are supplemented by the Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus exhibition and catalog. Projects colored by hand and unique copies of works are explored, following a general introduction into the featured pieces—penned by the artist himself and his main subjects. The showcase illustrates all woodcut works in detail, contains a short biography of Munch, and is presented as a bilingual edition in both English and German.
