  13. Edvard Munch: beyond the Scream
    Course start date:  Fri 4 Jul 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    This session on Edvard Munch aims to give a fuller picture of the Norwegian artist’s creative legacy. To do so we will shed light on lesser-known works and aspects of his career. Munch’s art will appear immensely personal, and biographical, but also deeply connected to the cultural context in fin-de-siecle Europe.
