"A kiss, a kiss is not a sin..."
:32:33
Munch begins work on a canvas
:32:36
showing a woman bent over
the neck of a weakened man.
:32:41
He says of this painting that
:32:43
"in reality, all it is
:32:46
"is a woman kissing
a man on the nape of the neck."
:32:50
He calls the painting
Love and Pain.
:32:55
But to Przybyszewski,
the work depicts Woman
:32:58
sucking the strength from a man.
:33:01
He retitles the painting
The Vampire.
:33:05
Munch lets the new title stay.
:33:21
February 1893.
:33:24
Edvard Munch is in Copenhagen.
:33:26
The first exposure of his work
in Denmark.
:33:29
It is his 15th exhibition.
:33:36
Munch uses the occasion to study
:33:38
the effect of his paintings
placed next to one another
:33:41
in the order of
their developing theme,
:33:44
for now he is planning,
:33:46
and working on,
:33:47
a whole cycle of paintings
that will link together,
:33:52
a Frieze of Life,
as Munch calls it,
:33:55
to unfold the very meaning
:33:58
of nature and existence.
