Maria Lassnig und Edvard Munch

In the organizer's words:

Maria Lassnig (1919-2014) and Edvard Munch (1863-1944) are being shown together for the first time in a major double exhibition. At first glance, more than half a century separates the Austrian artist - whose works the Hamburger Kunsthalle was the first German museum to acquire early on - and the Norwegian painter - of whom the Kunsthalle owns a large collection of paintings and works on paper. And yet there are astonishing parallels between their works and biographies. In the thematic juxtaposition, their work becomes readable in a new way. . This content has been machine translated.
