Munch at the High Museum

Edvard Munch (1863-1944), detail from Horse Team in the Snow, oil on canvas, 1923. Munch-Musset, Oslo, Norway.

The High Museum of Art in Atlanta's recent exhibit After the Scream: The Late Paintings of Edvard Munch was organized by Georgetown Professor of Art History Elizabeth Prelinger.

Munch, best known for his early works including The Scream in 1893, painted well into the 1940s. The High exhibit featured 62 canvases of his later, less known--and surprising--work. A catalog of the exhibit is available from the Yale University Press.

Prof. Prelinger co-taught with Joseph Haller, S. J., Curator of Prints, the seminar which produced the student-selected exhibit "Visions of America," on display last winter in the library's Fairchild Gallery.
