Van Gogh to Kandinsky: Symbolist Landscape in Europe 1880-1910
14 July – 14 October 2012
This is the only UK showing of this major international exhibition which is the first to explore the subject of Symbolism and landscape painting.
The show casts a light on a fascinating movement exploring dreams and visions, mysticism and poetry and the natural world. Featuring other-worldly subjects, this exhibition brings together major artists from 1880 to 1910, such as Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch, alongside less well-known artists from Scandinavia and beyond, including Hammershøi, Gallen-Kallela and Khnopff.

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.
