Max Linde

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Today, we're going on an adventure with a painting called "Max Linde." It was painted by a really cool artist named Edvard Munch. Have you ever heard of a painting called "The Scream"? That was painted by him too! nn This painting shows us how talented Munch was at painting people. He had a very special way of showing us what was happening inside their hearts and minds. nn Look at the man in the painting. His name is Max Linde. He looks very important, doesn't he? He's wearing a dark suit and a hat, just like a businessman! nn What color is the floor? Yes, it's red! And the walls are blue and white. These colors are so different, it makes us feel a little bit strange, like something exciting is about to happen. nn Now, look at Max Linde's shape. Does he look a little bit stretched out? And his eyes! They're looking right at us, even though we're standing so far away. It's like he's trying to tell us a secret! nn Munch was really good at painting feelings. He didn't just want to paint what people looked like on the outside. He wanted to show us what they were thinking and feeling on the inside. nn What do you think Max Linde is thinking about? Do you think he's happy or sad? Excited or nervous? nn This painting is like a puzzle, and we have to use our imaginations to figure out what it means. Munch wants us to think about who Max Linde is and what his life is like. nn Isn't it amazing how artists can make us think and feel so much just by using colors and shapes? nn Now that we've met Max Linde, let's go explore the museum and see what other secrets we can uncover!
