Catalogue Note
“Jealousy, sacred feeling of cleanliness of the soul which abhors to mingle with another through the intermediary of woman. Jealousy, legitimate selfishness, born from the instinct to preserve self..." EDVARD MUNCH
In the 1890s, Munch started printing lithographs with the master printer, Auguste Clot, who was also responsible for encouraging several of the late 19th century French artists to experiment with lithography. It has been suggested that the jealous man at left was based on Przybyszewski, the Polish writer, yet could also be a depiction of the artist himself.
