An exhibition of artworks by that gloomiest of gloomy souls, Edvard Munch, doesn’t immediately scream ‘summer outing’ (typical titles for his works include ‘Melancholy’ and ‘At the Death Bed’), but this excellent show at the recently refurbished Courtauld Gallery is not to be missed. Start here around midday and immerse yourself in Munch’s world of drooping figures, haunted eyes and greyscale landscapes and… realise it’s all very beautiful really. And, moreover, a rare opportunity to see these paintings outside the artist’s native Norway.
With the capital fully back in the swing of things, summer 2022 in London looks set to be a season of one unmissable event followed by another unmissable event.
