Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch was an Expressionist artist from Norway born in Loten in 1863. Munch began working on paintings by the age of 17 and a state grant allowed him to study in Paris in 1863. Edvard Munch's paintings express elements of anguish, brooding, and pain based on personal obsessions and grief. This was an essential contribution to the development of the Expressionist movement. Edvard Munch's paintings began as broad expressions, and his later works became more and more personalized with images relating mostly to illness and death. Munch held an exhibition in 1892 that shocked the public so much that the show was closed. Munch's most famous painting "The Scream", and "The Sick Child" demonstrate the trauma that Munch underwent when he witnessed the death of his mother and sister to tuberculosis. Many of the Munch's paintings convey limp figures, hidden faces, threatening shapes looming, brooding houses, sexual anxieties, and innocent sufferers. Overall the moods of his works are meloncholic and intense. Edvard Munch was hospitalized when his anxiety became too serious and he returned to Norway in 1909. Edvard Munch died in Oslo in 1944 and left significant works that were simple, vigorous and direct in style, which worked as important forces for later modern graphic art.
