Anxiety in New Haven

“Toward the Forest “ (colored woodcut), by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944), in the show “Munch and Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression,’’ at the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., Feb. 16-June 23, 2024.

“Head of Dr. Frédéric Bauer’’ (colored woodcut), by German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938).

The gallery says:

“Featuring more than 60 works on paper, this exhibition is the first to examine the prints of Edvard Munch alongside those of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, elucidating the fascinating overlaps in their creative output and personal biographies and demonstrating how these artists suffered from—and attempted to cope with—the anxieties of their age.’’
