Opis

This important publication accompanies a major exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery,London, of paintings by Edvard Munch, one of the world’s greatest modern artists.The exhibition and catalogue showcase 18 major works from the collection of KODEArt Museums in Bergen. The works span the most significant part of Munch’s artisticdevelopment and have never before been shown as a group outside of Scandinavia.KODE houses one of the most important collections of paintings by Edvard Munch (1863–1944) in the world. The collection was assembled at the beginning of the 20th century bythe Norwegian industrialist, mill owner and philanthropist Rasmus Meyer (1858–1916),who was one of the fi rst signifi cant early collectors of Munch’s work. Meyer knew Munchpersonally and was astute in acquiring major canvases by the artist that chart his artisticdevelopment.Edvard Munch: Masterpieces from Bergen explores this group of remarkable works indetail and considers the important role of Rasmus Meyer as a collector. The exhibitionand publication include seminal paintings from Munch’s early ‘realist’ phase of the 1880s,such as Morning (1884), which was made when the artist was just twenty years old, andSummer Night (1889), a pivotal work that shows the artist’s move towards the expressiveand psychologically charged work for which he became famous. These paintingslaunched Munch’s career and set the stage for his renowned, highly expressive paintingsof the 1890s when his compositions became powerful projections of his emotionsand imaginative states. Such works are a major feature of the exhibition that includesremarkable canvases from Munch’s famous ‘Frieze of Life’ series, such as Evening on KarlJohan (1892), Melancholy (1894-96) and At the Death Bed (1895). Through his ‘Frieze of Life’works, Munch intended to address profound themes of human existence, from love todeath. The artist used his own experiences as source material to make visceral depictionsof the human psyche, which he hoped would help others understand their own life.Munch’s powerful use of colour and form to convey his subjects marked him out as one ofthe most radical painters at the turn of the 20th century.This fully illustrated publication includes a catalogue of the works, with contributionsby leading experts in their fi eld from KODE and The Courtauld.
