Edvard Munch Self Portrait
When seeing promos for any of the “slasher/horror” movies series “Scream” I don’t think movie, I think Munch.
Munch has always represented fear, despair and death. An exhibit at the Leopold Museum has all of this plus works that depict his view of love. I had been fascinated by his work which set my table for Bergman.
Munch’s work reminds me of the dreams I don’t want to have or the reality that I know exists. I can only guess that Munch was tormented by his dreams or his life, I really don’t know. His self portrait gives me a clue on how he thought of himself, an accessory to life
The exhibit will be at the Leopold Museum beginning Oct 16th to January 18th 2010.
