Lom Kirke, Norway

c. 1935-1938
William Henry Johnson (American, 1901–1970)
Soon after Johnson's arrival in Norway, he met the reclusive Edvard Munch (1863-1944), that country's most famous living painter and one of the most creative woodcut artists of his time. Munch's distinctive rough-hewn block prints may have inspired Johnson to take up the method again with renewed enthusiasm.
