mystical munch
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is in reality historical fiction, but based generously on the letters and journal entries of Edvard Munch. In some ways it is like a psychodrama given the complex emotional make-up of the painter. I read it slowly in order to absorb all the nuances created by the author. Ketil Bjornstad wrote as if he were a personal friend of Munch's. I found myself stopping frequently to study the paintings described in the book.
Style that mirrors the painter
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Bjrstad did a wonderful job portraying Munch with his style and prose. This dark book is a fabulous read, especially for fans of art history and Edvard Munch. The book does not read like the average novel, but the style is quickly and easily adapted too. I strongly recommend this book.
