Description

Exceptionally rare postcard from the influential Norwegian expressionist

Norwegian artist (1863–1944) whose brooding, anguished paintings and graphic works, based on personal grief and obsessions, were instrumental in the development of expressionism. Color postcard depicting Bad Elgersburg, 5.5 x 3.5, captioned in German in another hand and signed in the lower right in black ink, “Edv. Munch.” Addressed on the reverse in another hand and postmarked 1906. In fine condition, with light dings and creases to corner tips. This was a busy year for Munch, displaying some of his work alongside the leading Fauve artists in a critically celebrated exhibition, completing several commissioned portraits, and painting the screen for an Ibsen play—the piece now housed at the National Gallery in Berlin. A lovely postcard from the sought-after artist, difficult to find in any format. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
