Overview

Edvard Munch, the universally acclaimed Norwegian, is one of the painters who most influenced the creation and evolution of modern art in the first half of the 20th century. A series of traumatic events in his life profoundly affected Munch's personality and decisively influenced his vision of art, allowing him to create his own unique and genuine style. There are few artists in whom such a deep connection between life and work can be seen. His paintings have become a universal symbol of modern humanity confronted by a society it cannot understand and in which it feels excluded and threatened. Munch is the painter of feeling and emotion, of the revolution of the subjective that transforms each viewer into another creator. He is also the painter of provocation, who mocks universal dogmas and absolute truths. The artist who reworks each of his paintings again and again, obsessed with the passage of time and the eternal return that leads us nowhere. The painter of anguish and the wildest, most unstoppable life force that moves everything, even though we don't know where it's moving it or why. Discover his enigmatic and disturbing life, the fears that always haunted him, and his stormy personal relationships through his most important works, described and discussed with great clarity and simplicity. Munch is art and he is avant-garde, all the senses elevated to infinity; here he is at your fingertips.
