Description: Huge periods in the history of art have been inspired by the work of earlier generations; all the neos: neo-Gothic, neoclassicism, neo-Romanticism and so forth, have connected themselves with artists of the past. Great masters have inspired others for hundreds of years they created schools dedicated to their work and their artistic styles were copied. Though this rarely happens in the present day art world, the Norwegian expressionist painter Edvard Munch has continued to have a direct influence on artists the world over. In celebration of Munch's 150th anniversary the Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum is exhibiting Munch By Others, looking at artworks created by artists over the past 30 years. Featuring an amazing amount of contemporary works by Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Marina Abramovic, Tracey Emin, Georg Baselitz and many, many more.
