In his painterly and graphic work Edvard Munch (1863-1944) made feelings and states of mind the subject of his work. In intense colors and expressive figuration, he created a highly individual artistic language that makes his oeuvre as enigmatic as it is appealing. Born in Norway, his travels took him to Paris and Berlin, where he cultivated contacts with important writers, artists, and intellectuals of the time. He spent the end of his life in seclusion in Oslo, where he died in 1944.

The art historian Ulf Küster (_1966, Stuttgart) has worked at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen/Basel since 2004. He has curated internationally acclaimed exhibitions and written numerous publications. His books on Edward Hopper and Piet Mondrian (A-Z series) and Louise Bourgeois (Kunst zum Lesen series) have been published by Hatje Cantz.
