[.] Echoes of the Scream showcases Edvard Munch's influence on artists in the second half of the 20th century [Marina Abramovic, Asger Jorn, Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Gilbert & George, Jasper Johns, Antonio Saura, Andy Warhol and others]. Munch's mapping out of his own conflict-ridden life in his work from the 1890s anticipated and prefigured several of the central existential issues of the 20th century. In the course of this process, Munch set Man's spiritual conflicts free from a Christian context, creating a series of visual and conceptual models for the portrayal of modern Man's conflicted existence. Through judicious selection, this exhibition elucidates major individual works of art which have been inspired by Edvard Munch.The juxtaposition of these works illuminates significant aspects of the more recent works, which in turn shed new light upon Edvard Munch's art.".
