Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth

November 18, 2023 – April 1, 2024

Edvard Munch's art is known for its vivid depictions of deeply human feelings. However, an equally important role in his art is played by his fascination with nature, which is now being addressed for the first time in an exhibition. Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth is devoted to the scientific and philosophical influences on his work and opens up his oeuvre as a resonant space for today's climate crisis.

On the one hand, Edvard Munch viewed nature as a cyclically self-renewing power; on the other, he saw it as a reflection of his own inner turmoil. Munch developed a pantheistic understanding of nature, which he projected onto the forests and coasts of Norway. The dramatic weather depicted in his paintings is especially striking in light of the current climate crisis.
