40 years after 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 also thanks to some masterpieces
that have become part of contemporary culture: in
particular, The Scream – a painting which, as the
author himself explained, was inspired by a Norwegian
landscape inflamed by a red sunset.
