Munch's greatest artistic legacy is his series of major prints depicting the basic human themes of attraction, love, and union; jealousy and separation; birth and awakening; and anxiety and death. His stylistic approach to these themes involved transforming ideas into an evocative image and exploring the image through numerous variations over a lifetime. The central ideas and accomplishments of Edvard Munch (1863–1944) are illuminated in an exhibition that brings together sixty of his rare color prints and hand-colored variations of these prints. Major loans from two of the world's finest private collections are joined by exquisite works from the Gallery's own collection
