Opening Lecture: Edvard Munch - Trembing Earth

Held in the Clark Manton Auditorium on Saturday, June 10, 2023
Jay A. Clarke, Rothman Family Curator, Art Institute of Chicago, introduces Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth, the first exhibition in the United States to reveal how Munch (Norwegian, 1863-1944) animated nature to convey meaning. The exhibition features approximately eighty paintings, prints, and drawings, organized thematically to reinforce how Munch used nature to express human psychology, celebrate farming practice and garden cultivation, and question the mysteries of the forest as Norway faced industrialization.

It is infuriating to have a lecturer describe the image the viewer is looking at. Also why does the lecturer refer to Mr. Munch's paintings as pictures?
