Description

Munch writes to a fellow painter, asking for help with "an exhibition in Copenhagen"

Influential Norwegian painter and printmaker (1863-1944) celebrated for his intense and evocative treatment of psychological themes, best known for his iconic 'The Scream.' ALS in Norwegian, signed “E. Munch,” one page, 5.25 x 3.25, no date. Handwritten letter to fellow Norwegian painter Torstein Torsteinson, in part (translated): "Please, be kind to send me the address to the Danish painter, because I owe him some money, and I should like very much that he would help me with an exhibition in Copenhagen." Munch writes from Aasgaardstrand, where he summered for many years—Munch once said, 'To walk in Åsgårdstrand is like walking among my paintings—I get so inspired to paint when I am here.' Attractively matted with a color print of a self-portrait to an overall size of 15.75 x 12. In fine condition, with an unobtrusive central vertical fold.
