A fundamental element in the art of Edvard Munch is The Frieze of Life, a series of deeply personal, expressive motifs carried out in paintings and graphic works, saturated with existential uneasiness and angst. As a whole these pictures comprise his magnum opus. This Internet exhibition shows a selection of paintings and graphic works from the series of motifs that Munch included in his Frieze of Life. The themes of Love, Angst and Death are presented in 24 different groups, with Munch's personal notes to the individual motifs.
The images of love in Munch's Frieze of Life have their parallel in the literary texts which describe his first love affair. Therein lies its deepest secret. The core of the message is that the events of their brief affair are summoned up in memory and the suffering relived. His own first real experiences of love are portrayed with ruthless honesty, and he thus creates universal expressions of human feelings.
