<\/a>Munch’s House<\/p><\/div>\n
It is amazing that there was such a well-known person living in the place where is so near to our campus. Only 15 minutes of driving, we get chance to see the life how Munch lived before. Munch first came to \u00c5sg\u00e5rdstrand as a tourist in 1885. Later on, he decided to buy a house here in 1898 to be the place where he could stay in summer. This purchase provides Munch with a greater connection with the area. Munch’s house is now a small museum, open to the public where everything has been retained as it was when the artist lived there.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Munch’s Corner to Produce New Works<\/p><\/div>\n
After the lecture, I learn the story that happened between Munch’s lover, his family and him\u00a0in this house. There was even a shooting event occurred here. Later on, we go to the studio beside the house to see some copies of Munch’s paintings.\u00a0The original studio building has been closed, but new building has been erected on the same site. Munch’s works are often considered undone because facial appearances of people in his paintings are usually vague. However, his pictures still inspired the development of modernism, both in his choice of themes and visual expression. He connected his personal experiences with radical artistic means.<\/p>\n
