Munch Exhibition

Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art

This event has ended.

The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is well known in Japan for his symbolic representations of modern humanity’s isolation and decadence. This exhibition offers the chance to view around 110 pieces that include famous oil paintings such as “vampire”, “anxiety”, and “girl with red hair” along with rarely seen architectural decoration plans. This is the first attempt at deciphering Munch in association with decoration, a firm eye placed on how he tried to express himself through his work.
