Summary
Edvard Munch's radical modernity in painting was a challenge for his contemporaries. This applied in particular to the art scene in Berlin around 1900 which the Norwegian Symbolist artist influenced profoundly. In return, he received support there and was able to continue to develop his work. The publication is lavishly illustrated and describes knowledgeably the story of Munch and Berlin. In 1892 the Association of Berlin Artists invited the still-unknown Edvard Munch (1863 - 1944) to an exhibition. The public was shocked by the colourful, sketch-like pictures. The artist enjoyed the furore and moved to the city on the Spree, where he repeatedly sojourned until 1908. Here he learned the techniques for printed graphics and presented for the first time paintings in several continuous series which would become central to his oeuvre. In Berlin, before long, the concept of the 'Magic of the North' (Stefan Zweig) was no longer associated with romantic or naturalistic fjord landscapes, but with Munch's psychologically concentrated pictorial worlds. Exhibition: Berlinische Galerie Landesmuseum f̐ưur Moderne Kunst, Fotografie und Architektur, Berlin, Germany (15.09.2023 - 22.01.2024).
