I It arrives Ekeberg Park At sunset and walk along the muddy paths to find the point of view. The late winter sky resembles the water color: a soft blue and gray clouds together, with a comprehensive gradient from the yellow edge from the tobacco stain to the pale lemon over the distant hills of color. At the point of view, look at Oslo and listen to screaming.
In 1892, Edofard Monach Take a picnic in this same garden As the sun was set. He recorded the experiment in his memoirs, wrote that he heard “great and unlimited screaming through nature.” The experiment has become the basis of the most sustainable painting.
Nobody knows if the screaming was real – there was a nearby hospital – or imagined. Today, all I hear is the screaming of the cheerful children who play on the side of the hill, amid running and pedestrians who express the pedestrian paths full of leaves in the garden.
It also holds the National Photo Gallery New exhibition From Munch pictures, I am in Oslo walking in the footsteps of the artist. Munk is inevitable: in Clarion, Oslo HotelWhere the version of Andy Warhol was held by The Scream Grows
From the point of view, where the sky falls into a blanket around me, the attraction of the city in the city is clearly visible. While the forms of carrots and borders of oslofjord are the same recognized as those in the background of screaming, Monach Museum – Known as munch – highlighting the middle New modern buildings on the bjävika waterfront. The upper part of his amazing toward tilted, so the architects said, to look like it bend to the city of Oslo, an inspiration for many Munch works. Inside, my guide, master, takes me on a tour of the wide group.
“Monach was unique in how to absorb a transformation in generations and perception,” says Sayed. “It documents humanity at a time when faith and institutions collapsed.”
I am surprised by how Monch, who is more than 100 years old, is still related to today: from his ability to draw the emotional scene of his isolation with a special focus on mental health, to his belief that there was no separation between humanity and nature.
At the exhibition, three different versions of Scream are displayed in a faintly lit liter of Rotunda for 30 minutes at a time, to keep their colors. One of them has the brains of water in the lower left corner: This is one of the stolen screams, which was taken by bold art thieves during a robbery in daylight in 2004 and was damaged during storage (it was returned in 2006). in National MuseumAnother version of Scream – it was made eight in total – under the eyes of security guards. Another version of the painting of this exhibition was stolen in 1994, when the police took the attention of the Winter Lilat Winter Olympics. This one was only absent for 12 weeks.
Other prominent events of the Munk Museum include a vast room that displays drawings from Firstly Paints, a series of giant artworks made for the Celebration Hall at the University of Oslo. They portray a abstract sunscreen into multicolored rays, a or care or a coastal line and a hunter who knows a boy, and consider his main works. When the Nazis invaded Norway, these paintings were hidden in a mine. Munch work on List of Nazi art delusional It was considered modern and corrupt artistic art. Any deviation from the rule, that is, a challenge to the current situation, has been punished. After the war, these huge actions were restored to the pride of the place in University hallAnd it is open to the public on Saturday in the month of February.
The next day, I make a trip to archerMonch drew two of these works. A 30 -minute train trip and a short taxi trip from Oslo, it is a haven for munk lovers. You can He wanders in his home And outdoor studio and along the beach. There is something around the sound of the sea, the rock coastal line of Oslove Gord and apple trees that give a great feeling of calm. For Munk, with which health and mental health issues were afflicted throughout his life, this was the idea.
I buy White House Here in 1910, which is significantly rented to vacationers in the summer, and kept the matter until his death in 1944. at home, the bright yellow walls that were carefully restored and white lace curtains were the backgrounds of many of his forms. I walk next to the apple trees to a coastal line filled with mussels, where the explanatory panels show his paintings against the scenery.
Once again in Oslo, I tour a walk on vitality Grünerläka a fourth. The Monach family lived in many different buildings in the region, which was characterized by paintings, and in one of these he put one of his most moved paintings, the sick child, inspired by his sister’s death from tuberculosis. All colors of life here: Old stores and lovers lined up along the edge of a small central garden, and a blue, blue tram trauma and wandering it in the city, where the berista with evil hair is made drinks in Tim Windlopy The cafe. I feel I can walk next to the theme of one of my favorite Munch paintings, Madonna, a woman with a Raven hair in a red hat.
Before I leave, I pay my respect in his grave in Our rescue cemetery. I wonder what he might create if he is alive today. According to the tour guide for walking, his love for self -graphics means only one thing: “He will belong to my behavior.”
