VIENNA.- Edvard Munch, one of the most important
European artists, stands at the center of the main autumn exhibition of the
Leopold Museum. The themes of love, fear and death dominate Munch’s oeuvre. The
symbol-laden atmosphere lends many of his works an air of uncanniness.
The artist’s emotional states and inner conflict manifest themselves in drastic
a sexual relationship becomes clear in the painting “Vampire,” in which the
woman with the snake-like red hair sucks out the blood of her ‘male victim.’
On view 16 October through 18 January, 2010.
