This original Edvard Munch poster is from the Munch Museet in Oslo, Norway, featuring "Red and White" from 1894. Two facets of love that are most depicted by Munch were passion and purity. Those were the two types of love seen, that of God (purity, Virgin Mary etc.) and passion (of the flesh, of the woman etc.). Munch depicts a woman as love... his love is enveloped with passion (red) and purity (white). Without which, most find themselves helpless in love.

Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter. His best known work, The Scream, has become one of the iconic images of world art. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today's Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'). From this emerged his distinctive style.
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
