An exhibition brings together 60 of Edvard Munch's rare color prints and hand-colored variations of these prints.
Haunting images of love, attraction, alienation, death, and other universal human experiences in the work of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1865–1944) will be presented in a fascinating exhibition of nearly 60 of his most important prints. On view at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, from July 31 through October 31, 2010, Edvard Munch: Master Prints examines the artist’s stylistic approach to each of these themes, a process that involved transforming ideas into an evocative motif and exploring that image through numerous variations over a lifetime.
Major loans from two of the world's finest private collections will be joined by exquisite works from the Gallery's permanent collection.
