ART | Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 โ 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter. His 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 a bohemian life under the influence of nihilist Hans Jรฆger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'). From this emerged his distinctive style.
