Munch exhibition in Paris
 

We can say specifically went to see the exhibition at Centre Georges Pompidou - and extremely disappointed. Munch has always been one of my favorites , but here curators have done everything to show it to a serial maniac. So famous girls on the bridge are presented in six varieties , specially emphasized that the forest was made a vampire 10, and " stooping girl " - 12 options. Texts on the walls , telling us that Munch and only doing what was driving up to order, but the entire collection of works as intended to convince the viewer into the artist's mediocrity . I suspect that this was due to the ambitions of the curators of the exhibition : the idea (and name ), the exhibition - " Munch - the artist of the 20th century ," so instead of exciting work late XIX-early XX-th century, mainly represented by his later work 20 - x - 30's , 90%imported from Oslo museum . That is , the curators , trying to show its originality, almost killed the artist

qwerty, and the pictures do not do?

So Munch about 90 percent and is located in Oslo.
He said that in the modern development of transport anyone to look at his paintings can fly to Oslo.
Well, fool , that he take.

However, the artist, as we all know , it is great , and its significance for the avant-garde of the 20th century is comparable with the value of Cezanne , Van Gogh and Gauguin.

I saw in Paris a hefty retrospective of Munch's about 20 years ago (or less, I do not remember ), and , of course, impressed .

On this I do not know , to go or not.

This - somewhat exaggerated, in my opinion. I will not argue , but the Munch Museum in a lot of Bergen (where , incidentally, is generally super museum , which is strange because it almost is not protected ), as well as in museums in Stockholm and Copenhagen , and the outstanding things , just one to one . And on this show I do not recommend going to those who like Munch, just razacharuetes , so I did not do photos .

And last year in the "Pinakothek Paris" was an exhibition of Munch, were not?
Not very much, I think, from private collections, but rather representative.

Creek, one of the four will be at the May auction of Impressionist in NY

When driving home , the car caught off guard with a radio call requesting comment on the impending sale of something . I gasped to myself , I thought who puts it - a museum ?
And suggested that the sale price greatly exceeds the start of $ 80 million .
 And now I see that it is pastel. Already doubt in his bold prediction.
