For the next 14 years,
1:13:14
Edvard Munch is to lead a life
of increasing pain and isolation.
1:13:19
His illness, aggravated by smoking
and alcohol, is to grow worse.
1:13:25
He is torn by the themes
of jealousy and suffering,
1:13:29
by the thought of
his own death
1:13:31
and his descent into a literal hell.
1:13:50
The conservative press is to
continue its attacks on his work
1:13:53
and, other than for periods
spent at Åsgårdstrand,
1:13:57
where he once met
with Mrs. Heiberg,
1:14:00
he is to spend most of 14 years
1:14:03
travelling endlessly
from one country to another.
1:14:07
He is to paint a major theme,
The Dance Of Life,
1:14:11
in which the couples
do not see each other.
1:14:37
And, though most of his work
is to deal with
1:14:39
the problems of human communication,
1:14:41
Munch is to try again
again with two more relationships,
1:14:45
one of which will result in
physical and psychic injury
1:14:50
and, following a nervous breakdown,
1:14:52
he will finally place himself
1:14:54
into a psychiatric clinic
in Copenhagen in 1908.
