Im Hirn des Mannes, original lithograph reproduction of the 1897 woodcut. First edition from the 1954 Sommernacht Collection, Berlin. Framed and glazed by Parsonage, late nineteenth century wooden frame bearing the Parsonage Studio Crown.

It is a work of art in itself. The lithograph is double mounted on black, appears also period, with artistic detail. Near fine lithograph; frame with expected wear to extremities. As with all of Parsonage's work, the piece would not look out of place in a museum and has an impressive presence on the wall.

Printmaking was an essential component of Munch's art following his introduction to the graphic media in 1894. With the capacity to produce multiple works from a single plate, stone, or woodblock, printmaking served to expand the accessibility of the artist's themes to the general public and to provide income. It also enabled him to experiment with his imagery: by altering color, line, texture, and composition, Munch drastically changed the appearance and emotional impact of a given subject.

Thus a woman kissing a man could appear amorous in one print, predatory in another; a sick child could seem feverish in one impression, ashen in the next. Approximate measurements, 13.5x19cm inner; 30x24cm outer. ABOUT CANON & RARE BOOKSELLERS. Established in 2012, Canon & Rare is a family run business.
