[Jaimie · Rating 2 out of 5]

As much as I agree that Munch's painting "The Scream" is one of the most interesting examples of art in the last 2 centuries, I'm not overly impressed with the rest of his work. Of the selection that Loshak presented I was really only intrigued by a few of Munch's portraits (self or otherwise), since they each exuded unique personalities and gave the subjects a clear focus - a trend missing from the remainder of lacklustre landscapes and scenes. At least Loshak did an admirable job in presentation, clearly sketching Munch's life and the driving themes behin hid artistic output as well as providing short discussions on a selection of works to highlight their significance.

Good, straight to the point descriptions of each painting reproduced and their meaning, inspirations and techniques, with just enough background on the artist and his time.
Nice edition as well!
