Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter, whose
best known work, “The Scream”, has become one of the most iconic images of
world art. His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread
of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family.
Studying at the Royal School of Art and
Design in Kristiania (today’s Oslo), Munch began to live the bohemian life under
the negative influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger who did urge him to paint his
own emotional and psychological state, and from this situation, his distinctive
style was emerged. Although his works were banned in Nazi
Germany, most of them survived World War II, ensuring him a secure legacy.
