Munch and Photography

It has been known for many years that Munch made use of photography in his art, but this book reveals a far deeper, more complex and more interesting dependence on photography of all kinds than had hitherto been realised. Based on a thorough investigation of the archives of the Munch Museum in Oslo, Eggum discloses new aspects of Munch's art and artistic practice and establishes new contexts and relationships in which even some of Munch's most famous paintings may be seen and understood.
