Art and Life

Art & Life. At the Oslo art museum we went to see Edvard Munck’s “The Scream.” Yeah I know that feeling. I bought a print it cost about twenty Euros, it now hangs on the wall in front of me and it screams for me. But his painting “The Kiss” absorbed me the most, it is one of the greatest sensual, painting I have ever seen. There were many other paintings of great masters, but I didn’t see them as “the kiss” blurred my sight. There was a reverent whispering in the room, I didn’t cared for, like being in a church where even a cough is frown upon. When my wife went to the loo I told a female security guard she looked like the woman in the “kiss.” Her stern, blue eyes softened, she giggled and said: “But you can’t see the woman’s face in the painting.” No dear, but if I could it would be a face as beautiful as yours.” More guards came and I was escorted out of the building.
