The
Norwegian artist Edvard Munch is regarded as a pioneer
in the Expressionist movement in modern painting. His
star is still on the ascendant in the other European countries,
and in the rest of the world. Munch's art from the 1890s
is the most well known, but his later work is steadily
attracting greater attention, and it appears to inspire
present-day artists in particular.
Edvard Munch grew up in Norway's capital, Oslo. Edvard
was often ill when he was a child. His childhood home
was culturally stimulating, but in his art Munch turned
again and again to the memory of illness, death and grief
that he felt for losing his mother when he was only five.
After a year at Technical School, Munch became dedicated
to art. He studied the old masters, attended courses in
the painting of nudes at the Royal School of Drawing and
was instructed for a time by Norway's leading artist,
Christian Krohg. His early works were influenced by French-inspired
Realism, and his great talent was soon discovered.
