Angst
A book with bestseller potential – Edvard Munch, a key figure of European modernism, and one of his most important themes: angst. Everyone knows it and fears it – regardless of cultural and social background – yet it is also essential to life, as a driving force and source of energy. Hardly any painter has captured this aspect of the human condition so powerfully as Munch – an artist whose unique body of work leaves no one unmoved.
