"Four Girls in Åsgårdstrand,"Edvard Munch, 1903.

We all know Munch. One thing that he did a lot was portraits of children, always without their parents. Munch's own mother had died when he was five, and he had a distant, uncaring father. So the sense of isolation and self-reliance that he felt as a child is externalized here.

There were just neighbor's children, posed by the wall of Munch's house. They stand facing the viewer, and the world, with only each other and their own resources to call on. It's partly sad, partly frightening, and partly empowering.

From the Munch Museum, Oslo.

My sister showed me Kanopy which is a streaming service that connects to your local library and now I can watch lots of low budget but educational museum and gallery made films about artists which I find really fun although most people would probably find these films incredibly boring. The first film I watched was on Edvard Munch who was brilliant. My ★★★★½ review of Exhibition on Screen: Munch 150 on Letterboxd boxd.it/6HVL5r
