“My art is like a diary ...”
The Art of Edvard Munch
Wednesday 25 May at 10.00am
Pablo Picasso said that his work was like a diary - “to understand it, you have to see how it mirrors my life”. This quotation could also apply to the works of Edvard Munch and Stanley Spencer, whose art was equally autobiographical and greatly influenced by their love lives.
“Living people who breathe and feel ...”, The Art of Edvard Munch is the second talk in Val Woodgate's three-part lecture series. Munch is the most well-known and admired Scandinavian artist, some of whose works have become icons of the modern world. Through his expressive use of colour and line in a series of wonderful paintings, etchings and woodcuts, he explored universal themes of psychological disturbance, love and jealousy. In the words of the Art Historian Robert Cumming, “He made anxiety beautiful”.
