The Clark Art Institute presents Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth. This is the first exhibition in the United States to reveal how Munch (Norwegian, 1863–1944) animated nature to convey meaning. Regarded primarily as a figure painter, Munch’s most celebrated images are connected to themes of love, anxiety, longing, and death. Yet, a large portion of his works feature landscape. The exhibition features approximately eighty paintings, prints, and drawings organized thematically to reinforce how Munch used nature to express human psychology, celebrate farming practice and garden cultivation, and question the mysteries of the forest as Norway faced industrialization. We’ll enjoy a guided tour of this special exhibit with free time to explore the museum’s permanent collection– from European and American paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, photographs, to decorative arts from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century. Lunch at the Clark Café is included.
