Edvard Munch | Graphic Works from The Gundersen Collection
- 7th April − 23rd September 2012
- Modern Two (Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art) | £7 (£5)
Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is renowned for his preoccupation with universal emotions such as isolation, melancholy, anxiety and love. His graphic works are amongst his most arresting and poignant, and are celebrated world-wide for their technical mastery and visual intensity.
The core of this exhibition features an outstanding group of fifty works on paper by Munch held in a private Norwegian collection, and will be the first time they have been shown in the UK. Featuring rare, hand-coloured versions of iconic images such as The Scream, Anxiety and Madonna, the exhibition explores Munch’s rigorous experimentation as he revisited subjects to heighten their emotive impact.
