Description
Time: See below
-an exhibition from the Munch Museum, Oslo, organised by the Hunterian Museum & Art Gallery, University of Glasgow-
This exhibition from the Munch Museum in Oslo is dedicated to prints by Edvard Munch (1863-1944). Featuring 40 of the finest prints spanning his career,
the works have been specially chosen to illustrate his development as a graphic artist. Edvard Munch, Norway's greatest artist, was enormously influential internationally. Munch's earliest works were Impressionist in style, but
he achieved an artistic breakthrough, and notoriety, with his painting The Sick Child (1886). This was the first of many works that explore human, psychological suffering, reflecting his own painful childhood experiences as well as encapsulating ideas about love promoted by his Bohemian friends in Oslo. Munch was an artist who continually pondered, revised and repeated his images,
and the prints are frequently the finest and most powerful versions of his subjects.
His large woodcuts, printed in colour using an innovative technique, were an important influence on German Expressionism in the early 20th century.
The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue, 'Edvard Munch: Prints', by Peter Black, Curator, Hunterian Museum & Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, and Magne Bruteig, Senior Curator, Munch Museum, Oslo (â¬16.95, The Gallery Shop). A wide range of Munch-related merchandise from postcards and posters to t-shirts and cotton tote bags will also be available from The Gallery Shop (bookshop@ngi.ie).
