One sole truth about Edvard Munch's art does not exist. The answers depend on the questions we pose. Twenty-two Munch experts have written 150 texts about well-known and lesser-known works from Munchmuseet's collection. Through these multiple ways of seeing, Munch's lifework emerges as infinite.
And this book, as an exercise in the art of seeing. The book invites the reader to explore the world of Edvard Munch - his ideas, processes, and the profoundly human topics that occupied him and that still affect us today.
