Description
A comparative study of the Expressionist painters Maria Lassnig and Edvard Munch.

...
Munch were equals in the radical and unsparing scrutiny of their own work. Each also had a singular way of handling paint as a powerful medium to express feelings of grief, love, loneliness, trepidation, joy, and pain, and to communicate physical sensations. This richly illustrated volume accompanies the grand dual exhibition of the two exceptional artists’ oeuvres. It presents intimate insights into the artists’ practice, highlighting both parallels and differences between what are arguably two of the most celebrated oeuvres in modern art history. With writings by Andreas Eriksson, Sandra Gianfreda, Sheela Gowda, Johanna Hornauer, Hans Dieter Huber, Siri Hustvedt, Brigitte Kölle, Maria Lassnig, Edvard Munch, Johanna Ortner, Ulrike Ottinger, Ashley Hans Scheirl, Luc Tuymans, and others.
