Thanks all for a fantastic preview event for Edvard Munch: Symbolism in Print #MunchPrints #NCMAtweetup #NCMApinup
Munch exhibit @ncartmuseum should not be missed! Fascinating insight from John Coffey on themes that populated body of work.#MunchPrints
Here's a doodle I did while @ncartmuseum during the preview for #MunchPrints. Thanks @nataliewbr and @caw_ http://pic.twitter.com/ttZbjny2- .@ncartmuseum: post- #NCMApinup carnage #Munchprints @ North Carolina Museum of Art instagr.am/p/P0iZOnmzcV/
Munch constantly recycled images, esp from childhood. Not a happy guy. Lost family to TB, madness. Lots of sex & death. #munchprints
Uses a friend's obsession with a woman to explore his own fear of madness and insanity in Jealousy II #MunchPrints- There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Some call it love -Munch #MunchPrints instagr.am/p/P0HZpcq4Qc/
- Did u know: Munch exhibits are very rare. Paintings rarely leave Oslo. But we get to see these #munchprints thanks to curatorial wrangling.
- "What can only be described as post-coital regret" -Coffey #MunchPrints instagr.am/p/P0W6JUq4dT/
- All Coffey asked of exhibit designers... could they make things anxious and edgy? Let us know if they succeeded #MunchPrints
His work was about becoming ever more raw,honest.Seeing humans as animals-with animal cravings desires & failings #NCMATweetup #MunchPrints- Let's just say Munch had issues. Sex scared him. Went thru bouts of celibacy than whoring. Seems like women were Types to him. #munchprints
At a sneak peak of #MunchPrints @ncartmuseum Live Munch & is powerful collection."This is not a happy show. There is a lot of sex and death"- More Coffey comments on #MunchPrints-"He could have just jumped off a bridge & been done with it, but instead he kept painting"@ncartmuseum
John Coffey of @ncartmuseum showing the deathbed scene that influenced Munch in his entire life #MunchPrints http://pic.twitter.com/wrTa7pfC- Physical love, & its animal-like nature, confused Munch. This was era of Freud, as society tried to wrap minds around sex, mind #MunchPrints
"After the Fall" an example of Munch's despair in human indulgence #MunchPrints http://pic.twitter.com/xM8iRSoA- Images of kissing couples signified annihilation to him. Haunted him. Makes you look at those prints differently. #munchprints
- "the kiss" looks so romantic but to Munch it was pure annihilation of self, subsumed in the embrace of Woman #MunchPrints
What... you thought I wouldn't Tweet the reddish-haired woman? #MunchPrints http://pic.twitter.com/YupBnmh6
