The Norwegian Art Exhibition, Charlottenborg
1915
Edvard Munch traded his famous screaming faces for a vibrant, swirling advertisement for the 1915 Norwegian Art Exhibition. Rooted in Symbolism, the scene is a chaotic, colorful mashup of the Garden of Eden and a stormy sea, featuring two peach-toned figures beneath a fruit-laden tree while ships toss violently in blue waves behind them. It proves that even when designing a commercial poster for Charlottenborg, Munch couldn't help but inject intense emotion and bold, energetic lines into his work.
