Edvard Munch
In the following essays I am going to analyse two paintings, ‘The Scream’ (1893) and ‘Evening on Karl Johan’ (1892), by Norwegian Expressionist artist, Edvard Munch (1863-1944). These two works come from Munch’s ‘Frieze of Life’ series of paintings in particular the ‘Fear of Life’. A large part of Munch’s life was occupied by painting and his work can be divided up into four thematic approaches: ‘Loves Awakening’, Love Blossoms and Dies’, ‘Fear of Life’ and ‘Death’. Munch’s aunt was responsible for encouraging him in his artistic career after his mother and sister died when he was young. Similarly with his father being a doctor, Munch was further exposed to death and dying. The tragic events of his early life undoubtedly affected Munch throughout his life, certainly he found it difficult to form relationships with women. Munch is regarded as being an Expressionist artist, as he manages to convey extreme negative emotions, especially his futility of life and existence. ‘THE SCREAM’ EDVARD MUNCH (1893) At first glance, I am immediately drawn to the emaciated meltin
