| | MSN Encarta - Edvard Munch |
 | | Edvard Munch (1863-1944), Norwegian artist, whose brooding, anguished paintings and graphic works, based on personal grief and obsessions, were instrumental in the development of the art movement known as expressionism. | | | The sinuous shapes in Munch’s paintings also reflect the influence of the art nouveau movement, which was at its height in Europe during the 1890s. | | | Undeterred, Munch and his sympathizers worked throughout the 1890s in Germany, developing the artistic style that came to be known as expressionism. |

| | Edvard Munch |
| | Munch's art had evident affinities with the poetry and drama of his day, and interesting comparisons can be made with the work of the dramatists Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, both of whose portraits he painted. | | | Munch was heir to the traditional mysticism and anxiety of northern European art, which he re-created in a highly personal art of the archetypal and symbolic. | | | Munch bequeathed his estate and all the paintings, prints, and drawings in his possession to the city of Oslo, which erected the Munch Museum in 1963. |

| | Edvard Munch's mother, his brother, and one of his sisters died of tuberculosis while he was still young, and Edvard was himself a sickly child. | | | Edvard's talent was evident by his early realist paintings, but the traumatic events that plagued Edvard's youth had an even deeper impact on his artistic vision than any other artist or artistic movement could have. | | | Munch lived and worked in Berlin and Paris for many years, and his works were included in several exhibits. |

| | Edvard Munch : The Man and His Art, by Ragna Thiis Stang | | | "Edvard Munch's ruthless self-revelation through his art mirrors not only the particular nature of the artist but the style of a whole age; what was private was to be revealed in the full gaze of the public. | | | Munch's own literary efforts, written in intimate contact with the literature of his time, give direct insight into his conscious artistic intentions and also a deeper understanding of the human content which is so obtrusively present in this series of pictures. |

| | Edvard Munch |
| | Edvard Munch's debut as a painter took place in the spring of 1883, when he exhibited a painting at the Industry and Art Exhibition, and in December of the same year he took part in the Autumn Exhibition for the first time. | | | Edvard Munch rented a studio and continued to work on the motifs for The Frieze of Life. | | | It is likely that Munch himself was entirely aware of the core of contrasts and conflicts which became evident even in his early childhood and which finally found release in his art. |

| | After Edvard Munch's death a large collection of his works was donated to the City of Oslo to become the Munch Museum. | | | This feature is typical of a series of self-portraits taken by Munch in 1908-1909, which he called "photographs of fate". | | | Munch did not capture the moment in his photographs, but let time flow into them in a unique way. |

| | The Royal Academy of Arts : : Edvard Munch by Himself |
| | Munch's self-portraits constitute a visual auto-biography in which the artist explored his experience of life and his commitment to art. | | | It was in his third self-portrait of 1886 that Munch’s style was most obviously influenced by his growing interest in the psyche. | | | It is a conventionally modelled academic portrait in which the young artist paid considerable attention to detail. |

| | Edvard Munch: The Frieze of Life |
| | This, the first comprehensive exhibition of Edvard Munch's art in Australia, assembles more than 80 works from across the artist's entire oeuvre – including paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours. | | | Munch developed these great themes of Angst, Love, Sex and Death during the 1890s – a project he called the Frieze of Life – and to which he returned at the end of his life. | | | While the works in this half of the exhibition (which constitute the 'unknown' Munch) have been selected in order to form coherent groupings, there are many connecting threads, ideas and echoes between these groups and to the 'Frieze of Life' works in the first part of the exhibition. |

| | Madonna is a famous painting by the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch. | | | Munch painted five versions of the Madonna between 1894 and 1895, using oils on canvas. | | | The title suggests a depiction of Mary, the mother of Jesus, although it is a highly unusual representation of Mary, who until the 20th century was usually represented in high art as a chaste, mature woman. |

| | On another occasion, I was also very moved by Munch’s masterpiece ‘Death of a Child’, hanging in the National Gallery in Oslo; in this painting the artist is broken, and has, in an almost desperate frenzy, blurred the form of his earlier depiction of Sophie’s death. | | | Once even, NRK sent a copy of ‘Edvard Munch’ to an exhibition of Munch’s works at the London National Gallery - and the video turned out to be mostly black. | | | Peter Watkins’ Edvard Munch is a remarkable piece of work. |
