According to preliminary information, the Norwegian expressionist exhibition will open on 15 April 2019. Paintings brought from the Munch Museum in Oslo

Amazing destiny. Childhood and youth full of suffering, death of loved ones, mental illness and physical sickness, mental institutions, unbridled criticism and ridicule works. Many initially doubted if he could do draw. Amazingly, Munch, which is now part of top-10 the most expensive artists of the world, approximately forty years did not recognize neither the public nor the colleagues. But to this point it was already written the most daring and innovative works, including "the Scream" (2012 a version of "the Scream" was sold at Sotheby's for nearly $120 000 000). Calm to age, Munch was not given already by the Nazis. At the end of his life he was recorded in the "degenerate art" and seriously feared the confiscation of his paintings and possessions. But on the other hand... Since childhood, characterized by poor health, Munch some-то miraculously coped with the "Spanish flu" (which killed many heroes), lived to a venerable 80 years and today is recognized as one of the greatest artists of not only Norway, but all over the world.

What exactly will bring in the Tretyakov gallery, we don't know yet. There will be several dozen paintings and drawings from the Munch Museum in Oslo. They have several masterpieces, including the paintings "the Scream", 1910, "Madonna" and "Vampire." But will they have? I hope.
