Edvard Munch. Inner fire

Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was acutely aware of how his blazing inner world, in the form of memories, emotions and creative energy, shaped his visual impressions. Edvard Munch. Inner Fire examines the Norwegian artist’s tireless exploration of the nature of sight and its relation to concurrent developments in art history and perceptual science. It also sheds light on a lesser-known dimension of Munch’s oeuvre – his connection to Italy.

Featuring seminal works like Self-Portrait in Hell, Melancholy, Starry Night, Self-Portrait. Between the Clock and the Bed, Despair and The Girls on the Bridge, and essays by Patricia G. Berman, Lasse Jacobsen, Manuela G. Mazzucco, Emil Leth Meilvang and Hanne Ørstavik.
