Fascinating Edvard Munch Letter to an Eminent German Psychologist. Minor wear at folds, with two binder holes at left center margin, otherwise fine. Accompanied by original envelope addressed in Munch's hand. An interesting and enigmatic letter. (1863-1944) Painter whose Expressionist style and tortuously curved designs exerted a powerful and influential force on Modern art.

Autograph Letter Signed. One page, Quarto, in German, n.p., n.d. [circa 1934]. To Dr. Ernst Harms in Zurich. Munch writes:

"…Enclosed I am sending you a copy of a letter to my niece. This will explain the matter to you. Besides that, I have been working for the past few years on a large monumental painting and naturally I cannot allow this unfinished work to be reproduced. In order to find material in my studio, it will be very difficult and you will understand for the time being it is not possible. If possible I will send you something later on. Will be traveling soon. Sincerely, Edvard Munch." .


Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,250.
