Rendezvous on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 - from 7:30 pm for the conference "Edvard Munch, the Modern Eye".
Edvard Munch, born in 1863 in Löten, Norway, is a Norwegian expressionist painter and engraver.
As a teenager, he was soon confronted with the death of his mother and then his sister. He will represent this personal and painful experience in his paintings strongly imbued with French realism. He will quickly reveal himself as a great talent. His best known works are those of the 1890s, notably The Scream and the Madonna. In May 1930, he suffered a retinal hemorrhage. Through his diseased eye, he will retranscribe his vision of floating bodies in his abstract paintings. Later, the Nazis judged his work as "degenerate art" and removed his paintings from German museums. He died in 1944, the same year as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky.

Who is Etienne AUBERT?

"Even though he has studied art history, his emotion, he draws it above all from an early age, when he finds himself frozen, dazzled, intoxicated, and sometimes even weakened, in front of a work of art. Since his young adolescence, he has been constantly frequenting museums and art galleries both in France and abroad, to better understand. The mystery remains; so the look is decisive.

Our spirit is nourished by art, which in turn elevates our soul. What he has been doing for years is to share his unfailing passion for art, to propose his own analysis and to contextualize the works in their historical setting.

There is no possible equation between the work and the discourse. No speech exhauses a work of art. This is probably what makes any interpretation infinite and fascinating. With the work of art, there is a mysterious presence because it is silent. »
