For Edvard Munch (1863-1944), painting was an act of self-liberation. His treatments of fear, desperation, and death still exert a powerful visual and psychological effect on modern viewers.

The artist reflected his innermost feelings in his work. ... Although Edvard Munch cannot be clearly identified with any single movement, he is deemed a pioneer of Expressionism. |
