About the Item

In the annals of art history, the lithograph created by Edvard Munch in 1897 for the theatrical production of "Jean Gabriel Borkman" at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre emerges as a poignant testament to both Munch's artistic prowess and Henrik Ibsen's theatrical genius. Edvard Munch, renowned for his emotive and psychologically charged works, lends his distinctive style to this original lithograph, conceived as a program cover for Ibsen's seminal play. With deft strokes, Munch captures the essence of "Jean Gabriel Borkman," infusing the lithograph with an aura of intensity and introspection reflective of Ibsen's dramatic narrative. Beyond its function as a mere program cover, the lithograph serves as a compelling visual interpretation of Ibsen's work, offering audiences a glimpse into the thematic depths of the play. Munch's portrayal of Henrik Ibsen, the revered playwright, adds an additional layer of authenticity and insight to the lithograph, inviting viewers to contemplate the creative vision behind the theatrical production. Through Munch's skilled hand, the lithograph transcends its utilitarian purpose to become a profound artistic statement, resonating with the emotive power and thematic complexity inherent in Ibsen's exploration of human nature and societal conventions. As a cherished relic of theatrical history, Munch's lithograph continues to captivate audiences with its evocative portrayal of "Jean Gabriel Borkman" and its enduring tribute to the enduring legacy of Henrik Ibsen's dramatic oeuvre.
