The Musée d’Orsay in Paris is devoting an exhibition to the famous Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944) whose work in its breadth – sixty years of creation – and its complexity remains partly unknown. Munch’s work occupies a pivotal place in artistic modernity between the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibition presents a hundred works, paintings, but also drawings, prints or even engraved blocks, reflecting the diversity of his practice.
This retrospective exhibition offers an overview of the artist’s career. Munch’s singular creative process leads him to create many variations of the same motif, but also several versions of the same subject. Eminently symbolist, the notion of cycle thus played a key role in Munch’s thought and art.
