Limited Edition Release: Edvard Munch — The Kiss IV

Wood Print Edition with Limitedd

Limitedd Edition announces the release of a new limited art edition featuring The Kiss IV (1902) by Edvard Munch, one of the most emotionally charged and psychologically complex figures of modern art. This iconic image of intimacy and dissolution is reintroduced as a tactile wood print, amplifying its raw, existential intensity.

Love, Fusion, and Loss of Self

The Kiss IV belongs to Munch’s ongoing exploration of love as both union and erasure. The two figures merge into a single, shadowy form—their faces dissolving where they meet—suggesting not romance alone, but the surrender of individuality. The moment is tender, yet unsettling, charged with ambiguity and emotional risk.

Created during a formative period of Munch’s career, the work reflects his Symbolist belief that art should make visible the inner life: desire, anxiety, and longing rendered through simplified forms and dark, resonant tones. It is not a depiction of a kiss, but an embodiment of what a kiss can mean.

The original work is held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, affirming its place within the canon of modern art.

Printed on Wood: Emotion Meets Material

This Limitedd edition transfers Munch’s haunting composition onto FSC-certified birch wood, a surface whose organic grain subtly interacts with the image. The wood introduces warmth and physicality, counterbalancing the work’s psychological intensity with material presence.

Unprinted white areas allow the natural birch surface to remain visible, creating depth and texture unique to each print. The matte finish and clean, edge-to-edge printing ensure a contemporary presentation that respects the work’s atmospheric darkness and emotional gravity.
