Maria Lassnig and Edvard Munch. The flow of painting = the flow of life

The ideal way to start your visit to the exhibition

For the first time, works by Maria Lassnig (1919, Kappel am Krappfeld – 2014, Vienna) and Edvard Munch (1863, Løten – 1944, Ekley near Oslo) are being shown together in a joint exhibition. At first glance, the Austrian artist and the Norwegian painter appear to have little in common. However, a dialogue between their works reveals surprising similarities.

Both used painting to visualise inner experiences: emotions, physical sensations and existential questions lie at the heart of their work. Colour thus becomes a vehicle for expressing emotions and personal perception.

The public guided tour invites visitors to discover the fascinating parallels between these two artistic personalities and to view their works anew through this compelling dialogue. Featuring around 170 paintings and works on paper, the exhibition offers an impressive insight into two outstanding figures in art history.
