Her Royal Highness toured the exhibit and gave a speech praising Munch, who is probably best known for the haunting painting, “The Scream”.
“We are celebrating a painter who put the individual the center stage,” said the Crown Princess. “Who showed us what it means to be human in all our complexity. A painter who has inspired artists all over the world with his timeless work.
“This 120 years long journey is worth bearing in mind when we look at, and judge, contemporary art.”
Mette-Marit also quoted Munch, by saying: “I do not believe in art that does not force its way to the surface through man’s need two open historical heart. All art, literature and music must be created from the artist’s life blood. Art is our life blood.”
After being shown at Schirn Kunsthalle, this exhibit will move to the Tate Modern in London.
