The public was shocked by the colorful, sketch-like pictures. The artist enjoyed the furor and moved to the city on the Spree, where he repeatedly sojourned until 1908. It was here that he learned the techniques for printed graphics and presented paintings for the first time. These several continuous series would become central to his collection of work. Munch's radical modernity in painting was a challenge for his contemporaries. This applied in particular to the art scene in Berlin around 1900, which the Norwegian symbolist artist influenced profoundly. In return, he received support there and was able to continue to develop his work. \u003ci\u003eEdvard Munch: Magic of the North\u003c\/i\u003e is lavishly illustrated and knowledgeably describes the story of Munch and Berlin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStefanie Heckmann\u003c\/b\u003e is the head of the fine art collection at the Berlinische Galerie, the State Museum of Modern Art, Photography and Architecture in Berlin. \u003cb\u003eThomas Köhler\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of the Berlinische Galerie.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555575402770,"sku":"9783777442181","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e99e8303-33d9-462e-9466-c792b01c1239.jpg?v=1731734814","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/edvard-munch-magic-of-the-north-9783777442181","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
