Welcome to the Internet exhibition of THE FRIEZE OF LIFE

A fundamental element in the art of Edvard Munch is The Frieze of Life, a series of deeply personal, expressive motifs carried out in paintings and graphic works, saturated with existential uneasiness and angst. As a whole these pictures comprise his magnum opus. This Internet exhibition shows a selection of paintings and graphic works from the series of motifs that Munch included in his Frieze of Life. The themes of Love, Angst and Death are presented in 24 different groups, with Munch's personal notes to the individual motifs.
