Stockholm, ,

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is one of the key figures of international
Modernism. He began as a Symbolist but moved gradually towards
simplification and strong glowing colours. He became one of the first and
greatest Expressionists and continues to influence artists and their work
today.
Moderna Museet has a large and representative collection of
Munch's graphics, which contains many of his most important pieces. The
present exhibition shows this collection for the first time in its entirety.
Munch's graphics contain exciting experiments in technique as well as
dramatic thematic innovations. Munch is one of the greatest of graphic
artists and his penetrating psychological pictures are both timeless and
timely. The exhibition also includes paintings by Munch owned by the
museum.
