Edvard Munch: The Modern Eye
26.06.2012
Opening on June 28th and running until October 14th, Edvard Munch: The Modern Eye at Tate Modern examines the artist’s work from the Twentieth century. Often regarded only as a 19-century master of Symbolism, Munch engaged with modernity drawing inspiration from both the everyday life and the technological developments in cinema and photography, as evidenced by works such as Workers on their Way Home (1913-14) and The Artist and his Model (1919-21) echoing the effect of electric lighting on theatre stages.
The exhibition features a wide rage of different works, including six paintings borrowed from the Munch Museum in Oslo, films and photos providing a good opportunity to better understand the artist and his work.
