Yves Saint Laurent Pierre Bergé - Christie's

Edvard Munch
The landscape and shoreline at Aasgardstrand – which would form
the setting for most of Munch’s paintings in the great series
of works known as the Frieze of Life – was a mystical place heavily
infused with an atmosphere of mystery, memory and melancholy.
This shoreline, with its strange play of light on water, was transformed
in Munch’s mind into a place of existential mystery that proved an
important spur in the development of his art.
