Edvard Munch (after)
Madonna - 1895
Hand-colored lithograph
Edited at 30 exemplars only.
According to the lithograph "Madonna" by Edvard Munch of 1895
& for the fist time in the world in reedition.
Information :
Just about 8 different versions of this lithograph have been executed by Munch between 1895 & 1913. The very first prints of this lithograph were issued in black and white in Berlin in
1895.
Even if the practice of colour printing was tested out in the famous Parisian workshops, it was seldom used in Germany.Therefore, Munch issued his "Madonna" at first in black print on which he added
afterwards various colours by hand.
By this way, he turned his printings into unique master pieces that were indeed comparable to his paintings.
As it was previously done in 1895, the coloured version has been entirely handmade making each exemplar of this lithograph really unique.
