Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch: Love, Life and death features Munch’s printmaking career from 1894 to 1930, showcasing his artistic achievement in its true richness and diversity of his printmaking techniques. The exhibition reveals Munch’s struggle to translate personal trauma into universal terms and, in the process, comprehend the fundamental components of human existence: love, life and death.
