Edvard Munch (1863-1944) left behind a vast selection of artist materials. This paper presents an overview of this reference collection, now located in a brand-new building in Oslo (Munch museum, MUNCH). The variety and the significant number of items in this unique collection represent an asset that is useful for advancing knowledge of Munch's art, in addition to historic paint and drawing materials. This paper focuses on historical artists' materials, discussing the challenges, the opportunities, and the impact of scientific study. Preliminary investigations indicate that the production of the paint tubes span pre1890s through to at least the 1920s and could stem from the whole period of Munch's career. This collection consists of 956 paint tubes from 20 different manufacturers. Most of them are labelled as oil colours but some as watercolour and tempera paint. Preliminary investigations of a selection of paint samples show that there is a discrepancy between the chemical composition and the brand specification on the labels. In addition to these paint tubes, there are watercolours in the form of dry cakes, and approximately 300 pastels and crayons in all colours from at least seven different brands. This collection provides a unique and important source for future research in modern artists materials from the turn of centuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
