🍎 Happy #AppleDay! Join us in celebrating with a fun fact about Edvard Munch and his connection to this special fruit! "There were some apples I wanted to paint. Me, who has never given a damn about dead things. I wanted to paint apples like Cezanne. Paint them to make me want them. Hundreds of apples I painted – couldn’t do it. It had become an obsession" - Edvard Munch⁠ 📽️ Watch to discover the reasons behind Munch’s fascination with painting apples.⁠ #MUNCH #EdvardMunch #EdvardMunchStories #ArtHistory

Edvard Munch’s death mask ⚰️💀 This year marks the 80th anniversary of Munch’s passing. Soon after his death, a death mask was created, preserving his facial features in his final moments. 🪦 This post-mortem tradition dates back to pre-Christian times, with both the Egyptians and Romans creating masks of prominent individuals. In recent times, death masks were made for renowned writers, composers, and artists, including Munch. The belief was that by capturing their face at the moment of death, one could eternally preserve their spirituality and wisdom. Munch’s death mask was created by a local plaster company in Oslo, with the involvement of an anatomy professor and a sculptor. Today, it rests quietly in the archives of MUNCH. #MUNCH #EdvardMunch #ArtHistory

Inner Fire" exhibition, now on display at Palazzo Reale (@palazzorealemilano) in partnership with Arthemisia (@arthemisiaarte).

🔥 #OnThisDay in 1919, a major fire broke out in the Grønland area of Kristiania, the city now known as Oslo. Edvard Munch, who often depicted current events in his art, was among the onlookers on September 17th. The intense scenes left such an impact on him that they became the subject of this painting, as well as multiple sketches, drawings, and a lithograph. Captivated by fires, Munch would seize every opportunity to paint them. Eight years later, during a large fire in his Ekely neighbourhood, «he came running with his canvas and paint box and took up position so close to the spot that the firemen had to ask him to move,» as recounted by his friend Rolf Stenersen, who was present with him. 🎨 Fire at Grønland (a borough in Oslo) (1919-1920) might be one of Munch’s lesser-known works, yet it remains a vivid portrayal of the infamous fire, capturing the moment in time. 🔗 Explore our digital archive of Munch’s works by following the link in bio. #MUNCH #EdvardMunch #ArtHistory #Oslo

Step into Edvard Munch’s former atelier, where this year’s SOLO OSLO artist, Constance Tenvik (@constancetenvik), is preparing her upcoming MUNCH exhibition! 🎨 The atelier, completed on Munch’s Ekely estate in 1929, served as his workspace until his passing in 1944. Today, its mission is to support emerging artists, offering them a dedicated space to develop their own artistic practice. 📣 Opening on 28.09, Tenvik will transform the 10th floor gallery at MUNCH with her new exhibition of sculptures, digital jacquard weavings, and a video filmed at Ekely. The SOLO OSLO series is part of MUNCH’s commitment to contemporary art, and to developing a new generation of artists.

Edvard Munch travels to Copenhagen, Denmark! 🇩🇰 For the newly opened "Against All Odds – Historical Women and New Algorithms" exhibition, MUNCH has lent SMK a valuable item from its collection: a portrait of a young Munch by the Norwegian artist Asta Nørregaard. This exhibition honours Nordic female artists active from 1870 to 1910, who despite their succsess, quietly disappeared from history 👩‍🎨 Critics often dismissed Nørregaard’s portrait style as overly polished. Despite being an outsider, she always stayed true to her artistic vision. The 1885 portrait of Munch is among her most renowned works. Originally belonging to the Munch family, it became part of the MUNCH collection after the passing of Munch’s sister, Inger, in 1952. Prior to its departure for Copenhagen, the portrait was in a deteriorated state. As it had never been restored previously, paper conservators dedicated several months to its intensive repair. 📣 "Against All Odds – Historical Women and New Algorithms" runs at SMK until 08.12.2024. #MUNCH #EdvardMunch #SMK #ArtNews
