An extraordinary and inventive graphic biography, Steffen Kvernelands Munch explores the relationships and obsessions that drove the artist behind The Scream. Using text drawn from the writings of Edvard Munch and his contemporaries, this extensively researched and beautifully drawn graphic novel debunks the familiar myth of the half-mad expressionist painter anguished, starving and ill-treated to reveal the artists neglected sense of humour and optimism. Born out of a life-long fascination with all things Munch, Kvernelands award-winning seven-year project is the funniest and most entertaining portrait yet of a complex man and a pioneering artist.
