Comment:
This is an early sketchbook containing fifty-six pages of drawings. What is special about this sketchbook is that almost all the drawings have clearly been assessed and most have been graded ‘Good’ (just a few have been graded ‘Fairly good’). The grade is followed by a person’s initials which, unfortunately, are difficult to decipher. A few drawings may have been school assignments, but mostly they are imaginative depictions of dramatic battles, cartoons, and caricatures, and the mystery of who is behind this first written judgement of Munch’s art currently remains unsolved.
