What Edvard Munch cared most about was the art he created. He was not particularly concerned with material assets. The idyllic villa’s interior was decorated with a motley mix of objects, and images, tools, paint tubes, newspapers, books and letters lay everywhere in blissful disorder.
Munch was curious about new technology and owned various modern gadgets including a film camera, a projector, a telephone, electric lamps and a so-called parlograph – a machine for recording voices. He was an eager amateur photographer and pursued his informal photography as an experimental medium, just like his did with his paintings and prints.
