Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker, best

known for his iconic work The Scream. His art, marked by emotional
intensity, explores themes of love, anxiety, death, and existential dread.
Munch’s style often featured bold colors, distorted forms, and a focus on
psychological realism, which has made him a prominent figure in
Expressionism.

The Scream (1893), his most famous piece, captures a moment of intense
anguish and anxiety, often interpreted as a reflection of Munch’s personal
struggles with mental health and trauma. His work also includes other
notable pieces like Madonna, The Dance of Life, and The Sick Child, all of
which delve into human emotions and life stages. Munch’s legacy is one of
using art to explore inner psychological states, making him a key influence
on modern art and the Expressionist movement.
