Exhibition of etchings, lithographs and woodcuts by Edvard Munch of Christiana, Norway : November 29th to December 20th / under the auspices of the American-Scandinavian Foundation introduction and list by Christian Brinton
This 1919 exhibition catalogue, published in New York by the Bourgeois Galleries under the American-Scandinavian Foundation, presents etchings, lithographs and woodcuts by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, with an introduction by Christian Brinton. The first picture is a dark, sombre portrait of a man with a moustache, his head emerging from a black ground. The second is a lithograph of a pale, sleeping or reclining head against a deep black mass, with a window beyond. A designer might take from these the stark contrast of pale forms against heavy black areas and the expressive, scratchy mark-making.
