A landmark graphic biography of the great expressionist painter An extraordinary and inventive graphic biography; Steffen Kvernelandrsquo;s Munch explores the relationships and obsessions that drove the artist behind ldquo;The Screamrdquo;. 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 ndash; anguished; starving and ill-treated ndash; to reveal the artistrsquo;s neglected sense of humour and optimism. Born out of a life-long fascination with all things Munch; Kvernelandrsquo;s award-winning seven-year project is the funniest and most entertaining portrait yet of a complex man and a pioneering artist.ldquo;A mesmerising readhellip; Funny and irreverent; it makes Munch seem very human; even as it places his genius beyond doubtrdquo; ndash;The Observer; Graphic Novel of the Month
