Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter best known for his role in the Expressionist movement, which sought to convey emotional experience rather than realistic depictions. His iconic work, "The Scream," captures deep feelings of anxiety and existential dread, symbolizing the modern human condition. Munch's style uses vivid colors and dramatic forms to express complex emotions, reflecting his personal struggles with love, loss, and mental health. Through his art, he invites viewers to engage with intense feelings, making him a pivotal figure in the transition from 19th-century art to 20th-century modernism.
