Edvard Munch at Tate Modern

I also visited the Edvard Munch exhibition, the same day as the Hirst exhibition.  A great deal of self portraits charting a lifetime preoccupation of his, and the development of a handful of other works that became repetitious and led to my boredom.  Lots of things to take in, too much as usual.  Of the few paintings in the exhibition I saw style and colour similarities with the impressionist movement and specifically Van Gogh.  Other than that, I found myself ploughing through.  This skimming was exacerbated by desire to remove myself from the intrusion of people taking photos where they were requested not to - I found this enormously distracting and frustrating.
