Edvard Munch painted two figures standing together on a bare shore, turned away from each other and out toward the water. The title calls them the lonely ones. Made in 1906 and 1907 as part of the Reinhardt Frieze, the canvas turns a shared place into an image of isolation, using the simplest means: two backs, a flat horizon, and very little else.
A naked girl sits on the edge of a bed, her hands clasped over her lap, staring directly at the viewer. Edvard Munch painted this canvas in 1895, and it now belongs to the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo. This short tour looks at what the painting shows and how its stark, simple choices shape the encounter between the girl and the person standing before her.
Edvard Munch's Vampire shows a woman with long red hair bending over a bowed figure, her face pressed to his neck as her arm holds him. This docent tour reads the painting's composition, its Symbolist context and the history recorded for this exact canvas, and it keeps observation, interpretation and documented history distinct.
