In the city's museums exhibitions satellites of two parts of the main exhibition of the great Norwegian, which launched at the National Gallery and the Munch Museum. In-Stenersen Museum, named after the famous art dealer and collector Rolf Stenersen Munch time since the end of last week opened exhibition "Edvard Munch in 2013." In accordance with the precepts of Stenersen, who wanted to see the work of Munch in the context of contemporary European modernism, curator Lars Eriksen Tolfa-assembled pieces of music by young artists of Norway, thinking himself in a dialogue with the legacy of master painter of the country.

Created with the participation of institutions of Norway Munch exhibition programs of "contexts" are stated in different cities of the country and the world, from Berlin to New York.

Many museums and bookstores Oslo visitors waiting for a whole library of new books about Munch, from education to the narrow profile, which explains, for example, about the peculiarities of his painting pigments. Army gifts violently thrown on the wallets and credit cards with the lovers of the beautiful diverse reproduced cries of the famous painting "The Scream."

Announced and new films about Munch, one of which is dedicated to dialogue with the music. Chosen a pair of Munch - Grieg. The second film, "Hear" Scream "" - on the theme of passion as the basis of creativity Munch - has created an Indian Bollywood director with backgrounds Dhiray Akolkar (Dheeraj Akolkar). It will be released in the fall.

Central jubilee exhibition of art by Munch at two sites in the main halls of the National Gallery and the Munch Museum, prepared by state and local government institutions. It is unprecedented for Russia, for example. Imagine that for the sake of the exhibition Serov would move on to the store all the time, a permanent exhibition of the Tretyakov Gallery in Lavrushinsky and on the Crimean shaft. And all the vacant space given only the great portraitist turn of the century. Can not conceive? Then some. And in Oslo this move naturally crowns the carefully constructed structure of the anniversary program. The exhibition is divided in two museums on the set of pieces that have a chronological logic, but not close to her. Each part is devoted to a certain thematic cluster. These units, according to the curators of the four (two curator of the National Gallery of state, two - from the municipal Munch Museum), as follows: "The visual rhetoric of Edvard Munch," "Self-portraits and self-representation," "Landscapes and places Munch", "Scenic Series" ( including the universal "Frieze of Life"), "Maestro Munch. A look at the distance (bird's eye) "," Munch and the public. " Such a formulation that is free and very logic of the spatial disposition of the material for which are made in the halls of the ideal conditions of exposure, help us to understand and feel all the nuances of the art of the master. It's amazing: the degree of exposure, swung by as much as two large museum, do not get tired. Do not you get tired of the exposure in the first place, of course, because Munch - artist stunningly rich and generous on visual tricks. That's the secret Munch: thematic repertoire of his art is not something that is very diverse. He loved to go back to one and the same motif throughout life. Some only "Scream", "Madonna" and the scenery with moonlight able to form a decent exposure of a museum. And at the same time every nuance of interpretation tormenting Munch extremely interesting topic as part of the real life of the soul.

It can be said, perhaps, that in life and in the work of Edvard Munch was close to the philosophy of anarchism, absolutely not tolerate anyone's pressure, self-mastery, was extremely sensitive to the idea of ​​individualism and emancipation (in all their dramatic , tragic versions, including the stories of the social bottom and existential loneliness). In painting, he also cracked the correct dogmatic tradition for the sake of his desperately copyright synthesis. The origins of his style in different methods and schools: from Realism, Impressionism to Fauvism, metaphysical painting, expressionism (even abstract). The exhibition is obvious that all the methods he studied carefully, and at the same time overcome their power over themselves, reached freedom to access them, and sometimes mutually exclusive from the standpoint of the "correct" language of painting.

In the mass consciousness that anarchism Munch easily fit into the formula painting "The Scream" and several other of his naive and simple-minded "horror". Because these simple-minded and horror trend and make the brand "Munch". Such consumer profanity meanings of art Munch - part of the repressive machinery of the capitalist society. To free people communicate with the art of the artist wanted to break the stereotypes and consumerist dogma in relation to his art, to show Munch as fully and difficult. In his new exhibition in Oslo this is achieved by demonstrating the huge flow of visual material (in the exhibition are involved in almost all the museums of the world where there are works by Munch). At the same time the composition of the material is subject to strict logic, discipline and order. Each section has its own director of communication with the audience, ranging from light, rhythm, scale matching, color of the walls in the hall, ending the presence of unexpected artifacts, such as, for example, a suitcase-workshop Munch - universal object for the movement of the artist and his tools.

That is the order of the manifold protects against voluntarism, dictates one concept. The same rule does not quickly get tired and become numb. A discipline with a priori seems to be undisciplined material should be adopted by our museum workers. After all, judging by the anniversary program Munch aphorism "anarchy - the mother of order" is very effective.
