蒙克（Munch）本人创作的肖像画以及为他所绘的肖像画，为我们揭示了19世纪和20世纪这位伟大艺术家所活跃的波西米亚艺术世界的生动面貌。

挪威画家爱德华·蒙克（Edvard Munch，1863–1944）1893年的作品《呐喊》已成为西方艺术中最负盛名的图像之一，他也因此被广泛认为是19世纪和20世纪最伟大的艺术家之一。然而，相较于他在其他领域的成就，蒙克在肖像画方面的造诣却鲜为人知——但实际上，肖像画在他的艺术创作和艺术理念中占据着核心地位。由伦敦国家肖像美术馆前首席策展人艾莉森·史密斯（Alison Smith）编辑的《爱德华·蒙克肖像画集》（Edvard Munch Portraits）一书，汇集了蒙克60多幅最具代表性的肖像画，展示了他所运用的丰富多样的风格、技巧和媒介。

 在蒙克漫长的一生中，他涉足了绘画、素描和版画等多种媒介，为朋友、赞助人、模特以及——尤为突出且毫不留情地——为自己创作了数百幅肖像画。本书将蒙克的作品置于其创作时期的文化和历史背景中进行探讨，使读者能够更深入地理解这些肖像画产生的时代背景。此外，本书还深入剖析了蒙克的家庭、波西米亚社交圈，以及他的德国和挪威赞助人以及帮助他树立声誉的朋友们。

Portraits by and of Munch offer insight into the vibrant bohemian world of one of the great artists of the 19th and 20th centuries

Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863–1944), whose 1893 work The Scream has become one of Western art’s most acclaimed images and who is widely regarded as one of the great artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, is less known for his portraiture―but his portraits are central to his art and vision. Edvard Munch Portraits, edited by Alison Smith, former chief curator at London’s National Portrait Gallery, brings together more than 60 of Munch’s most significant portraits, showcasing the wide array of styles, techniques and mediums that he employed.

During the course of Munch’s long life, and working in a range of mediums that encompassed painting, drawing and print, he made hundreds of portraits of friends, patrons, models and, above all and unsparingly, himself. This book places his work in the cultural and historical background of his period, providing readers with a greater understanding of the time in which these portraits were produced. This publication offers deep insight into the artist’s family and bohemian social circles, along with his German and Norwegian patrons and the friends who helped establish his reputation.
