Description: MUNCH, EdvardAlter Mann (1905), first edition photogravure, from the 1954 Sommernacht suite. Published by Feldafing OBB. DescriptionFramed and glazed by Parsonage Studio, crown stamped by them to verso. In scarce first edition photogravure of the original 1909 work.Printmaking was an essential component of Munch's art following his introduction to the graphic media in 1894. With the capacity to produce multiple works from a single plate, stone, or woodblock, printmaking served to expand the accessibility of the artist’s themes to the general public and to provide income.It also enabled him to experiment with his imagery: by altering color, line, texture, and composition, Munch drastically changed the appearance and emotional impact of a given subject. Thus a woman kissing a man could appear amorous in one print, predatory in another; a sick child could seem feverish in one impression, ashen in the next.External dimensions approximate, 37x21cm.
