Description
"Thiel wanted to fill an entire wall with paintings by Munch. The artist took part enthusiastically in the planning and selection of paintings to be included. In autumn 1907, Thiel wrote with satisfaction, “My Munch wall will outshine any other in Europe – I can see that already.” In the course of the year, Thiel acquired several of the Gallery’s most striking works, including On the Bridge (1903), and The Book Family (1903). The subject matter is everyday life and people Munch had met in the old port of Åsgårdstrand in Norway."
