Edvard Munch: Landscapes of the Soul

19 June - 14 July 2012
Overview

This show will analyse how Munch turned the genres of traditional landscape, as well as the traditional portrait, into emotionally charged landscapes of the soul through his paintings, watercolours and woodcuts. Munch's works established relationships between the figure and the landscape, the landscape and the soul, and the portrait as a mirror of the hidden human soul as he sought to express emotional states such as loneliness and melancholy.
