Munch, say - is it on Flake? (13)
I believe the answer is:
expressionist
'flake?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'munch say is it on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'say' could be 'express' (to express something is to say it) and 'express' is found within the answer.
'is' is present in the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found within the answer.
'on' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for expressionist that I've seen before include "Munch, for example" , "Member of artistic movement originating in early 20th century Germany" , "Painter" , "Artist like Edvard Munch" .)
