Epileptic Girl by Edvard Munch

Epileptic Girl by Edvard Munch

Munch, a great master of color, never denied the meaning of a drawing. “Following Michelangelo and Rembrandt, I attach the utmost importance to the line, not to the color,” he wrote. Therefore, it is not surprising that the artist left behind a huge number of drawings, showing himself as an outstanding draftsman who worked in a memorable realistic manner.

Many of Munch’s drawings serve as sketches for his future paintings. However, they are often very different from these paintings. Being engaged in drawing, the artist resorted to the most different techniques, equally skillfully wielding a pencil, coal, ink and pastel. The drawing of an epileptic girl with charcoal is a study on his famous painting Sick Child.
