Description:

EDVARD MUNCH (1863-1944) Norwegian painter and printmaker, his work was a precursor to Expressionism with bold, tortured images conveying psychological and historical torment, such as the world famous work "The Scream". Fine content, rare A.L.S. "Edv. Munch" 2pp. 8vo., [n.p. but Klampenborg], [n.d.], in German to a gentleman, in part: "...The photographs have probably arrived by now -- the title is given on the back -- those paintings which [Cornvater] is sending to you are more important than the works I did this Summer. In any case also more characteristic. I have specifically asked [Cornvater] to let you have the paintings for your exhibition and told him that I will send him new things for his exhibition. Why don't you write to him that this is also important for him as an art dealer. I will have a new photograph made and will send it to you..." . A bit of smearing in spots, otherwise boldly written and very good. $2,000-3,000
