Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is one of the key figures of international
Modernism. He began as a Symbolist but moved gradually towards
simplification and strong glowing colours. He became one of the first and
greatest Expressionists and continues to influence artists and their work today.
Moderna Museet has a large and representative collection of Munch's graphics,
which contains many of his most important pieces. The present exhibition
shows this collection for the first time in its entirety.
Munch's graphics contain exciting experiments in technique as well as dramatic
thematic innovations. Munch is one of the greatest of graphic artists and his
penetrating psychological pictures are both timeless and timely. The exhibition
also includes paintings by Munch owned by the museum.
