The_Scream

The Scream Edvard Munch was born on December 12 1863 in Loten Norway. He moved to Christiana (Oslo) and spent most of his childhood there. Both his mother and his oldest sister suffered from tuburculosis and died before he reached the age of fourteen. At eighteen he became more serious about his art and started attending art school. Edvard finally found a release for the pain he felt from his sister’s death. In 1886 he painted “The Sick Child”. The painting was so emotionally charged that it received a lot of criticism from the press and the public. However some of his artist colleagues began to recognize his talent. The same year another tragedy struck. His father died in November. Edvard received some scholarships that allowed him to spend the next few years in Paris. Although he would return to Norway during the summer, his style was that of a French Impressionist. In 1892 Munch submitted a series of paintings into a major Berlin art show. His exhibit was titled “The Frieze of Life”. This show caused an even larger uproar than his previous work.
