Short Bio
Edvard Munch, born December 12, 1863, in Löten, Norway, and passing on January 23, 1944, in Ekely, near Oslo, was a pioneering Norwegian painter and printmaker.
His art, profoundly emotional and evocative, delved into psychological themes, anchoring late 19th-century Symbolism and profoundly influencing early 20th-century German Expressionism. Munch's most iconic work, "The Scream," embodies the existential angst and introspection that characterized much of his work, driven by personal tragedies and a deep exploration of the human psyche.
