The lecture "Edvard Munch"

A Norwegian master of expression, conveying all the spectrums of sharp emotions of the soul onto canvas, with agonizing honesty, distorting reality into piercing and unforgettable images.

From the warmth of love to the pain of loss, from a terrible illness to a magical healing, from the "Scream" of the soul to fragile joy: Edvard Munch – a juggler of our emotions and a sensitive artist who showed them to us.

Why did the public reject even his more conservative works, and how did "The Scream" become the most famous of them?
What inspired the master of human passions, and which personal demons fueled his creativity?
How did photography burst into his life, and why did Munch create numerous self-portraits?
What painting did he create in response to the public's indifference, and why, despite illness and loss, did his genius shine brighter and brighter?

The lecture will be held by Pasha Rost – a painter, illustrator, and graduate of the Florence Academy of Arts, Faculty of Academic Painting.
