In conjunction with the Clark’s major summer exhibition, Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Anne Leonard presents the Clark’s full set of works on paper by this revered Norwegian artist. In his prints, Munch challenged conventional ideas about the portrayal of the human figure, the role of color, and the primacy of materials in realizing an artistic vision.
