When Edvard Munch was born in 1863, very few people in Norway or elsewhere were born or died in a hospital. By the time of his death in 1944, hospital births and deaths were rapidly becoming standard in many places in the world.
The artist drew inspiration from his own experiences of sickness, health and the medical environment, as well as those of his family, friends, patrons and various medical practitioners. Munch’s art, which he called his ‘lifeblood’, reflects the profound changes in medical treatment and care that occurred during his life, and offers a unique and critical perspective on modern healthcare.
