Once Grandfather came
back from a business trip

:35:36
and he found Granny behind a screen
together with

:35:41
three dead children.
:35:47
When Edvard Munch first shows
his completed painting,

:35:51
Inger in Black,
:35:53
the conservative press
in Kristiania refer to

:35:57
"his almost frighteningly
ugly portrait

:36:00
"of a lady in black,"
:36:03
thus beginning a critical assault
on his work

:36:08
that is to last for at least 15 years.
:36:18
In May 1885,
Edvard Munch visits Paris.

:36:23
For the first time in his life,
he comes

:36:25
face to face
with full-size classical art.

:36:29
He sees Velasquez
and Rembrandt

:36:32
and Manet.
:36:51
Three weeks later,
Munch returns to Norway

:36:55
and shortly afterwards
takes a boat with his family

:36:58
down the Kristiania fjord
to the little village of Borre.
