“I do not paint from nature - I take from it - or rather I serve myself at its rich table. I do not paint what I see - but what I have seen”, wrote Edvard Munch in 1928. Perceptions, memories, emotions blend together in the work of an artist who was accompanied throughout his life by a pressing urge to communicate. If the “inner cry” was the driving force of his art, Munch succeeded in translating both universal themes - birth, death, love and the mystery of life - and his own painful sensitivity and personal vicissitudes into an extraordinarily effective language, made of bright colours, uniform backgrounds and discordant perspectives that anticipated Expressionism and that, even today, stimulate immediate empathy in the viewer. After having recorded the absolute record of visitors at the Palazzo Reale in Milan, the exhibition arrives in Rome with over 100 works by one of the most beloved artists today.
