Wonderful post, full of interesting information. I remember how amazed I was on seeing The Sun when it came to New York. A gorgeous painting that I thought at the time quite out of character for what little I knew of Munch’s work. I didn’t know there was a whole suite of paintings, of which that was a part. How magnificent it would be to see them all!
Nicholas Cullinan in the Tate video near the end is the Director of the British Museum now.
I learned so much from this. Thank you!

My favorite is the Yellow Log, which he made to look like a VERY long log.
