Inner life, illness and aging · 1863 -1944
Edvard Munch was born in Løten in 1863 and grew up in Kristiania in a family marked by illness and bereavement. The self-portrait spans almost his entire career and accompanies his desire to paint the modern life of the soul. In the 1880s and 1890s, he showed himself as a young bohemian, sometimes elegant, sometimes isolated. The cigarette self-portrait of 1895 condenses this assertion: the face and hand emerge from a dark space, sometimes elegant, sometimes isolated. The cigarette self-portrait of 1895 condenses this assertion: the face and hand emerge from a dark space, while the smoke makes an unstable presence visible. The face and hand emerge from a dark space, while the smoke makes visible an unstable presence. The non-naturalistic colors and open matter gradually distance Munch from the worldly portrait. Self-portrait in hell, painted in 1903, places the naked body in front of an incandescent red; the figure becomes the site of an inner crisis rather than the simple raising of a physiognomy. After the collapse of 1908 and the stay in the clinic, self-portraits recorded healing, fatigue and return to work. In 1918 -1919, the Spanish flu provided a new motif: Munch painted himself ill then convalesced, sitting in a room where face, blanket and space directly expressed the ordeal. Installed in Ekely, he continued to represent himself in the middle of his workshops, gardens, dogs and paintings. Installed in Ekely, he continued to represent himself in the middle of his workshops, gardens, dogs and paintings. Between 1940 and 1943, Self-portrait between the clock and the bed places the old artist standing between the measurement of time and the place of rest or death. Behind him, his own colorful works form an active memory. The entire series therefore does not follow a regular progression towards resemblance. She experiments with thin painting, impasto, empty background, shrill color and framing to transform each age of life into a shareable psychological situation. The selection "Self-portraits of Edvard Munch" notably compares Self-portrait with cigarette - Edvard Munch and Self-portrait in Hell - Edvard Munch. His reading favors space.
Munch makes his own body a seismograph: cigarette, bed, clock or fever record the variations of a modern existence.
