Munch's 'Il grido interiore' Exhibition Opens at Palazzo Reale in Milan
After a 40-year hiatus, Edvard Munch's art makes a significant return to Milan with a prominent exhibition at Palazzo Reale, in collaboration with the MUNCH Museum in Oslo. Entitled 'Munch. Il grido interiore' and curated by Patricia Berman, the display highlights Munch's artistic journey beyond the iconic 'The Scream', which is presented as a rare lithograph. The exhibition delves into Munch's emotional spectrum through self-portraits and motifs of despair and eroticism, beginning with family portraits and childhood tragedies. Notable pieces include 'The Sick Child', 'Despair', and 'Anguish'. The latter sections address love and relationships, showcasing 'The Kiss' and 'Madonna', concluding with works inspired by Tulla Larsen, reflecting Munch's ties to early 20th-century psychology.
