Edvard Munch: Love and Angst

The accompanying title to the British Museum’s exhibition, Edvard Munch: love and angst. Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is best known today as a painter, but his reputation was established through his prints, which were central to his creative process. His printmaking was experimental and innovative, and he continually revisited the subjects of his paintings in striking prints, in which he evoked a wide range of emotion and mood through the use of varied techniques. Munch’s early life in the industrial town of Kristiania, renamed Oslo in 1925, was marked by sickness and poverty. His first works centred on the expression of deep emotional experiences, specifically the deaths of his mother and teenage sister when he was young, as well the as passionate yet unhappy love affairs of which his deeply religious father disapproved.
