Blood, skeletons and syphilis: the story of Edvard Munch’s obsession with health

An exhibition at the Munch Museum in Oslo, titled "Lifeblood," explores Edvard Munch's lifelong obsession with health and medicine by juxtaposing his paintings, drawings, and prints with historical medical objects. The show opens with Munch's painting "On the Operating Table" (1902-3), inspired by a bullet removal surgery after a dispute with his fiancée Tulla Larsen, paired with an early x-ray of his injured hand. It features works like "The Sick Child" (1885-6) alongside tuberculosis-related artifacts such as stethoscopes, sputum bottles, and a jar of arsenic, drawing from Munch's personal experiences with illness and his family's medical background—his father and brother were doctors.

Edvard Munch, Reprinted: A Study in Process at Harvard Art Museums

The Harvard Art Museums have opened a new exhibition titled "Edvard Munch, Reprinted: A Study in Process," which delves into the Norwegian artist's experimental printmaking techniques. The show examines Munch's repeated reworking of his own compositions, revealing how he used printmaking as a dynamic, evolving process rather than a means of simple reproduction. It features multiple states of iconic prints such as "The Scream" and "Madonna," alongside preparatory drawings and rare proofs that trace his creative decisions over decades.
