Exhibition of art by Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) and Edvard Munch (1863–1944), two artists who in all likelihood never met. Gauguin is said to have remarked that he closed his eyes in order to see, while Munch famously said: “I don’t paint what I see, but what I saw.” The exhibition focused on the graphic work of the two aritist, revolving around three main suites made by Gauguin, exhibited in three unique spaces.
