Book info: Edvard Munch: Starry Night (Getty Museum Studies on Art) (Paperback, 102 pages) – Oxford University Press, 1989. Language: English.

Of Edvard Munch's landscape paintings, Starry Night, executed in 1893, is one of the finest. It is the founding version of his later renditions wherein mood and content vary between two extremes: exultation in the beauty of a landscape he loved deeply and pessimism resulting from his sense of personal loneliness and artistic isolation. This well-illustrated monograph includes notes and bibliography as well as a color fold-out reproduction of Starry Night.
