The sky orange-red above him. His hands raised to his ears, his mouth wide in a haunting wail. In painting \u003ci\u003eThe Scream\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003cb\u003eEdvard Munch\u003c\/b\u003e (1863–1944) created \u003ci\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/i\u003e for our times. The shriek of his iconic figure reverberates around the world, its echo resounding in the work of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Marlene Dumas, and Tracey Emin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis introductory book surveys \u003cb\u003eMunch’s staggering capacity for psychodrama\u003c\/b\u003e in \u003ci\u003eThe Scream\u003c\/i\u003e and beyond. With rich illustration, it looks at the lurid, dark, and deeply modern visions that made up the artist’s response to relationships and emotions. These compelling images, regarded by the artist himself as a means of “free confession,” remain as magnetic today as they were on the brink of modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the series:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEach book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e a concise biography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052252512496,"sku":"9783836528955","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836528955_p0.jpg?v=1769887932","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836528955","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
