Edvard Munch: Graphic Works from The Gundersen Collectio
2 August – 23 September 2012
Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is renowned for his preoccupation with universal emotions such as isolation, melancholy, anxiety and love. His graphic works are amongst his most arresting and poignant, and are celebrated worldwide for their technical mastery and visual intensity. This exhibition features an outstanding collection of fifty lithographs and woodcuts by Munch, on show for the first time in the UK. Including rare, hand-coloured versions of iconic images such as The Scream, Anxiety, and Madonna, the exhibition explores Munch’s rigorous experimentation as he revisited subjects to heighten their emotive impact.
Supported by Patrons of the National Galleries of Scotland.
