Edvard Munch Exhibition at The Musée D’orsay with Patrick Bade

Patrick will discuss the works of Edvard Munch as related to the current Exhibition at The Musée D’orsay

What do you know about Edvard Munch aside from his painting “The Scream”? The artist is most often reduced to this very famous painting, considered as an icon, and yet, he has a very interesting collection of little-known work. But the musée d’Orsay has a terrific and extensive  exhibition running from September 20, 2022, to January 20, 2023, and called “Edvuard Munch, “Un poème d’amour, de vie et de mort””

This exhibition – co-curated with the Munch Museum in Oslo – is to make you discover the whole range of Munch’s art production, exploring “his journey – sixty years of creation – in all its duration and complexity”. All in all, over 150 pieces of work are displayed including about sixty paintings and a major collection of drawings, engravings and photographs. Works displayed alongside documents and manuscripts about “his incursions in the field of literature”.

*Please note that lecture was moved from October 4.
