Munch-museet, Oslo, Norway.
Occasioned by the centenary of Ibsen's death, the Munch museum presents a separate room devoted to Munch and Ibsen. Literature played an important part in Munch's life, and Henrik Ibsen's (1828-1906) dramas influenced his art in a direct way. One of the rare meetings between the two took place at Munch's controversial Kristiania exhibition in 1895 when Munch accompanied the dramatist through the exhibition rooms. Following Ibsen's death in 1906, he was honoured with performances at the new chamber stage of Deutsches Theater in Berlin. Director Max Reinhardt commissioned Munch to make stage studies for Ghosts and Hedda Gabler, as well as to decorate one of the rooms with a series of paintings. Later, Peer Gynt became the source of inspiration for a large number of imaginative drawings from the artist's hand, and during World War I Ibsen's The Pretenders inspired Munch to create a series of dramatic woodcuts. It also seems evident that Munch identified himself with several of Ibsen's tragic characters.
Collectors often choose this fine art image when searching for fine art oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the fine art brushwork visible and gives the expressionist oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As dining room wall art, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large dining room feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for fine art oil painting as a gift.
Whether the search term is fine art oil painting, dining room wall art, or expressionist oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
