Edvard Munch was a Norwegian Symbolist painter best known for his psychologically charged work exploring themes of love, anxiety, and death. His iconic painting The Scream embodies existential angst with vivid color and swirling composition. Munch’s style bridges symbolism and early expressionism, marked by emotional intensity and innovative techniques. His art was deeply personal, often autobiographical, and influenced by mental illness and trauma. Munch’s legacy shaped modern art’s exploration of inner experience and psychological depth.
