no more than suggested.

Munch makes
a powerful impression on me.
:47:10
He reflects a great deal
of humanity in his paintings
:47:16
and shows brutal reality,
:47:21
as life is.
:47:23
I am a compatriot of Munch
and I've heard it said of him
:47:30
that he's an awful, dreadful man.
But I like it.
:47:36
He says something about human beings
:47:39
and he speaks to me.
:47:41
I know a little about the situation.
I feel that he speaks the truth.
:47:49
This is how I really believe it is.

Working in hotel bedrooms,
on park and railway station benches,
:48:15
in bars and restaurants,
:48:18
using the small piece of copper
which he carries in his pocket,
:48:21
Edvard Munch begins
his first engraving,
:48:24
the theme which he captured
the prior year on his canvas
:48:28
Death And The Maiden.
:48:30
A naked woman,
stretched on tip-toe,
:48:34
presses her full body
into the embrace of Death.
:48:46
Towards the end of the 19th century,
:48:49
a new interest has developed
in the medium of the graphic.
:48:52
In Germany, Munch,
:48:54
here in the company of a professor
of graphic art at Berlin University,
:48:58
studies the latest trends
in copper engraving.
