Edvard Munch

Munch is known as a Symbolist painter. He is perhaps better known for the disturbing imagery that he created. He conveys emotions with rather simple images that employ repetitious use of line and fantastic colors. I have seen The Scream in its home museum and was taken aback by how small it is because I have been familiar with this work for as long as I can remember. The impact of this particular painting continues to be what I consider a worldwide phenomenon. Munch and I share a common ancestry, I hope to have inherited his artistry without his disturbed nature.
