Munch

40 years since the last major exhibition dedicated to Edvard Munch was held in Milan, one of the most loved and popular artists of the last century returns with a monographic exhibition at Palazzo Reale, organized in collaboration with the Munch Museum in Oslo. Scheduled on the 80th anniversary of the Norwegian artist’s death, this broad survey exhibition presents a selection of 100 works (including paintings, drawings and prints), showcasing the artistic production created over the course of a lifetime – from 1880 to 1944.

Throughout his career, Munch explored questions of everlasting existential significance, bringing the anguish of modern man to canvas. The radical modernity of his art launched a challenge to his contemporaries and exerted a powerful influence on the European art scene as the old century gave way to the new. The strength of his artistic vision reaches the present day not least because of a few masterpieces, which have become part of contemporary culture: above all, The Scream – a painting which, as the author himself explained, was inspired by a Norwegian landscape inflamed by a red sunset.
