\"Depuis plus d''un siècle, Edvard Munch et Vincent van Gogh sont réunis dans un même souffle. Ces deux artistes, qui aimaient quitter les sentiers battus, sont réputés l''un et l''autre pour leurs oeuvres émotionnellement chargés, leurs styles novateurs et leurs vies tumultueuses. S''ils ont été contemporains, les deux hommes ne se sont pourtant jamais rencontrés mais leurs idéaux artistiques et leurs convictions personnelles présentent étonnantes similitudes. Munch a en outre trouvé en Van Gogh un exemple particulièrement inspirant. Cet ouvrage richement illustré, édité par Maite van Dijk (Musée Van Gogh, Amsterdam), Magne Bruteig (Musée Munch, Oslo) et Leo Jansen (Institut Huygens pour l''Histoire des Pays-Bas, La Haye), est le premier à éclairer en profondeur la parenté entre les deux artistes.\" (4e de couv.)
