1957 Tipped-In Print Edvard Munch Evening Talk Garden Costume Couple Tryst Art

This is an original 1957 tipped-in color print of a piece by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) entitled "An Evening Talk" (1889). Munch was noted for the emotional themes throughout his work and this composition, which contrasts the dense, dark veranda with the light atmosphere of the garden, is definitely of no exception. It is believed that he used his sister Inger and theater critic named Sigurd Bodtker as models for this panting while he was vacationing in Asgardstrand. Although he is considered to be one of the pioneers of expressionism, Munch explored other styles in the early stages of his painting career. He is perhaps most famous for his iconic piece titled "The Scream."

Munch, Edvard

Edvard Munch (Dec. 12, 1863 Ð Jan. 23, 1944) was a Norwegian Symbolist painter, printmaker and forerunner of the Expressionist Art movement. Despite his illness and fatherÕs abusive nature, Munch enrolled at the Royal School of Art and Design of Christiania. He spent time in Paris and Berlin where he picked up inspiration and culture. His most famous painting is ÒThe ScreamÓ which expressed his own anxiety. Even with that success he spent most of his later years in isolation due to the Nazi hatred for his ÒdegenerateÓ art, which they removed from their museums. He died in Oslo where he bequeathed his art to the city, who built a museum in honor of him.
