Edvard Munch
Norwegian, 1863–1944

A forerunner of Expressionism, Norwegian painter and printmaker Edvard Munch is renowned for his representations of love, loneliness, and death. His most famous painting, The Scream (1893), is an instantly recognizable symbol of modern anxiety and alienation. Associated with the international development of Symbolism, Munch experimented with many different themes, palettes, and techniques of painting and drawing. Though he took stylistic inspiration from Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, Munch drew his subjects from his Scandinavian roots and his own tortured psyche. His work belongs in the collections of Tate Modern, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Museum in Oslo and has commanded millions on the secondary market. While he is best remembered for his paintings, Munch also took an experimental approach to printmaking, and his woodcuts were particularly influential.
