(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Now through June 8, 2014, you can see "Edvard Munch: Symbolism in Print: Masterworks from the Museum of Modern Art, New York" at the Princeton Art Museum, featuring 26 of the artist's most powerful and well known compositions, represented in a wide array of printmaking techniques.

Drawn entirely from the Museum of Modern Art's Collection of Prints and Illustrated Books, the exhibition vividly demonstrates Edvard Munch's innovative creative process and unique artistic vision. Munch (Norwegian, 1863-1944), renowned as a Symbolist painter, is also considered among the greatest printmakers of the modern period who employed printmaking techniques to distill his complex imagery into potent and universal signs that continue to speak to basic human impulses and concerns.

The Princeton Art Museum is located on the campus of Princeton University in Princeton, NJ. For more information visit http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/
