When Munch died in January 1944, it transpired that he had unconditionally bequeathed all his remaining works to the City of Oslo. Edvard Munch's art is the most significant Norwegian contribution to the history of art, and he is the only Norwegian artist who has exercised a decisive influence on European art trends, above all as a pioneer of Expressionism in Germany and the Nordic countries. The Munch Museum opened in 1963 and has a unique collection of approximately 1100 paintings, 4500 drawings and 18 000 prints. Major works will always be on display in the museum. The selection is changed regularly. In 1994, expansion and rehabilitation of the museum was financed by the Japanese company Idemitsu Kosan Ltd. The museum was partly rebuilt in 2005 to upgrade security. The museum's programme also comprises film screenings, audioguides, concerts, guided tours and lectures. The museum has a shop with catalogues and souvenirs and a cafe that serves salads, pastries, sandwiches etc. The museum's library houses literature on Edvard Munch and other artists.

I’m so confused! I admit it, dear. I love our home, but I hate it here! Elsewhere calls Day dream places Perfect home in a great location. But does this exist Can we both agree? I want excitement, you solemnity. I want a cottage And you a grand estate You want the ocean and me, a lake. I’m ready to go now You want to wait Prices keep rising, it’s getting late A deal is a most For you to follow through To live without regret We’ve missed so many I’m hurting there’ll be more waiting for elusive perfection

My muse was resting  Took a break Laid out on a cloud Sleeping in late Over eating Forgetting about time Recharging and Refreshing its mind Binging on Twilight Zone Relaxing at home Enjoying the holidays Now back in the zone

I remember … painting the oils and watercolors, charcoal drawings of a musclebound Marlboro man and four-hour poses of a well-rounded woman - both in the nude and paid by the hour. Then something happened - doctors unclear - light became terrible, sounds unbearable. Like a caged bird - a prisoner in bed - I was weak and depressed.... without any power. With time as my friend, I started to mend... but the virus, the gene - call it whatever - had taken its toll... walking, painting, driving, everything – a challenge. But I could create art, petal by petal, from a pressed flower. Art & Poem ©L G Rogers 2021

My name is Mirela Mohan and I am a copywriter and editor. I cover lifestyle and real estate content as well as web copy. Some of my work has been picked up by The New York Times, Globe Street, the Commercial Observer and other. While a lot of my writing leans on the technical, I have a penchant for the creative and whimsical. One of my favorite quotes is “One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple” by Jack Kerouac. Fitting words for a profession where putting the right words on the page is the ultimate quest. When I’m not writing, I love trying new recipes in the kitchen and drawing.
