Fear and loneliness

Fear as a basic emotion is an essential feeling for survival. Like joy, sadness, disgust, surprise, anger and contempt, it is part of our human existence and is a lifelong companion.

Edvard Munch

The exhibition at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz focuses on the theme of fear, based on the works of the most important pioneer of modern painting in Europe. Munch's works on this existential theme are linked to contemporary positions dealing with loneliness, illness and loss. The exhibition is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
