Reviews
I had the privilege of seeing this exhibit at the Huntarian Museum in Glasgow, and bought the book instantly.The selection is small but brilliant, and Black's commentary is outstanding - I rarely "read" an art book, but he is a good writer with a true feel for Munch.One of my favorite parts is the section on the inspiration for the Vampire woodcut.The print quality is high, but my one quibble is that the contrast is a tad low, so that the prints don't quite pop like the originals.With better Munch print books now going at $400 upwards, this book is a steal.
