There are many works of art that are famous to the world, but there may not be pictures known to adults and children as much as this work. Even if you don't see that person, if you hear "scream", yes, it's Munch. No matter how you cut it out, it's the strength of the overwhelming habit that you know, so it's a masterpiece. However, it is not the only reason that this picture is known to many people. Now, let's find out the true "forgery" from the "scream" of the first day during the day from the Munch Museum of Oslo.
A masterpiece that everyone knows! Edvard Munch "Scream"
Edvard Munch (1863-1944), speaking of "alcoholism", "neurosis", "death", "despair" and "loneliness", is a familiar (?) Painter with a negative image. "Scream" is a masterpiece that visualizes the human anxiety that symbolizes such a munk.
Edvard Munch "Scream" 1910? Tempera, oil painting, cardboard 83.5 × 66 cm, Oslo Municipal Museum of Munch
"This picture is drawn from the real experience of Munch. While walking along the road at dusk, I see the scene of the red spreading of the sunset on the fjord, 'Symptomizing nature, “I felt it,” and I wrote the word “I drew this picture.” Because she lost her mother and sister when she was young, and she tended to be ill, Munch felt that death was a familiar thing, I decided that it was my job as a painter to draw out the inside and emotions of human beings that I could not see, rather than the world I could see, and I continued to produce for the rest of my life. "(Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum curator Akiko Kobayashi)
Munch loved her work as "children" and drew the same motif repeatedly. "Scream" is also drawn several points in addition to this work, and it was first announced in 1893 when Munch was 30 years old.
"The cries of temperas and oil paintings coming to Japan this time are supposed to be works of 1910. Although Munch dies at the age of 80 in 1944, while suffering from illness, death fear and loneliness He continued to work hard until the end of the year, and in the 60 years of painting he left many works constantly without participating in a specific artistic movement. It may be said that it was. ”(Mr. Kobayashi) Certainly, the strength of“ let's draw ”can be felt from“ cries ”.
"'Scream' is a universal painting. The expression is intense, but you can sympathize over time. That's why it is known all over the world." (Mr. Kobayashi) "Scream" in anyone's mind There is. This picture will tell you that.
The Munch exhibition is a large retrospective of about 100 works!
"Munk Exhibition-Resounding Soul's Scream" is a large retrospective exhibition of about 60 oil paintings including the representative "Scream" and about 100 works including prints. There are four versions of "Scream", but the "Scream" of the oil paintings and temperas from the Munch Museum is the first visit to Japan. Munduk's painting work lasts about 60 years, ranging from early self-portraits to portraits of family members, works that express the inner human body intensely, beautiful natural landscape paintings in Norway, and colorful last-year works. You can look back.
Although Munch has been anxious about her life since she was young, she excels in expressing “anxiety” that is difficult to explain and conceals human beings due to the extraordinary sensitivity of people. In this exhibition, I would like to pay attention to his inner expressions such as “love and despair”, “pity”, “loneliness” and “anxiety”. You may be sympathetic to Munch's wide variety of works, including “screams”.
Don't miss the original Munch goods!
The last fun of the exhibition is the museum shop. Other than collaboration products such as Pokemon, original goods are also substantial. Notebooks, ballpoint pen stationery, T-shirts, key rings "screams" as motifs, and caramel tongues that bluish to the point that they want to scream in the mouth ... A lot of goods full of humor. You may wish to collect one of the items of your favorite works you met at the exhibition as a memorial.
Actually, I got 3 postcards (on the photo), a notebook with a design on the "solar" (on the bottom right), and an original tea from the Munch of the tea shop "Lupicia". Design is "Starry Night". Don't buy "scream" because you have files in use.
bonus
After the exhibition, it is recommended that you take a break at the bakery Andersen at Ueno Station. As we sell "munk's cry danish" by limitation, this may be eaten as a memorial (?).
It's broken a little, but this is the last one. You can get a sticker with Shanshan and collaboration when you buy "Munk's Screaming Danish"!
"Munk exhibition-the cry of the resonating soul" Is being held until January 10, 2019!
My motto is "I'm serious about being stupid", and I am having fun and having fun every day.
