Edvard Munch, Friedrich Nietzsche, 1906; Munch Museum, Oslo. The brightly painted reproduction below clearly has taken many liberties with the coloring, brushwork and overall appearance of this Munch classic. Although this modern version has been accepted in many places as a fair copy, it lacks the detail, the typically subdued tones, the facial subtleties, and the dynamic flow that characterize the original. Whereas the authentic photo, from the Munch Museum in Oslo, can be quickly identified as a Munch work, the modern interpretation seems as though it could have been painted by almost any contemporary copyist. Note that Munch created two versions of this Friedrich Nietzsche portrait in 1906. The other, also at the Munch Museum and shown here below the reproduction, is taller, with different elements in the sky and background. Altered version of a painting by Edvard Munch.
