From Karl Johan Street

Edvard Munch had been born in a town called Adalsbruk in Loten, Norway. His parents were Christian Munch, who was a physician and medical officer, and his mother was Laura Cathrine Bjolstad, and the couple had wed during 1861. He also had an elder sister, Johanne Sophie, as well as three junior siblings: Peter Andreas, Laura Cathrine, and Inger Marie. Edvard Munch was related to artist Jacob Munch as well as historian Peter Andreas Munch.

The family relocated to Kristiania during 1864 once Christian Munch was named medical officer with Akershus Fortress in the town. His mother passed away from tuberculosis during 1868, and also Munch's favored sister Johanne Sophie died as well during 1877. Following their mother's death, the Munch children were brought up by their father, who bestowed upon in his children a ingrained dread by often informing them that whenever they sinned in any manner, they would be cursed to hell without opportunity of pardon. One of Munch's younger sisters had been diagnosed with mental sickness at an young age. Munch himself had been likewise frequently sick. From the five siblings Andreas would be the only child to ever wed, however he passed away a a couple of months following his marriage.

During 1879, Munch entered technical college with the intent of learning engineering, however his regular bouts of illnesses disrupted his lessons. During 1880, he departed the school to become an artist. In 1881, he registered with the Royal School of Art and Design of Kristiania. His instructors were sculpturer Julius Middelthun and also naturalistic artist Christian Krohg.

Although stylistically molded through the Post-Impressionists, Munch's subject area is symbolist in theme, portraying a state of mind instead of an outside world. Munch upheld that the Impressionist artistic style didn't fit his painting. Munch had been concerned with presenting not a merely haphazard piece of reality, but situations full of emotional substance and expressive vigor. With this in mind Munch precisely figured his art works to produce an edgy environment.

Edvard Munch's methods of expression had been developed all through his lifetime. During the 1880s, his artistic style was both natural, as with Portrait of Hans Jæger, as well as impressionistic, seen with Rue Lafayette. During 1892, Munch devised his distinctive, and innovative, Synthetist aesthetic, as discovered in Melancholy, in which color is important and constitutes the symbolically loaded factor. Painted in 1893, The Scream is by far his most celebrated and easily recognizable painting.

Through the 1890s, Edvard Munch preferred a surface picture area, a nominal background in which he placed his forms in front. As postures were selected to bring about the most credible pictures of frames of mind and mental circumstances, the figures bestow a important, stable tone. Munch's forms seem to act as characters on a theater stage whose mime of frozen positions symbolize assorted emotions; because every persona represents a single, individual psychological attribute, as seen in The Scream, Munch's people look more representative than life like.

During 1892, the Union of Berlin Artists asked Munch to show at their November exhibit. When exhibited, the paintings quickly gave rise to hostile debate, and within a week the exhibition shut down. In Berlin, Munch became associated with a renowned group of writers, painters and critics, which includes the Swedish playwright August Strindberg.

During the turn of the century, Munch had been in Berlin. During this period he tried out a mixture of different media including photography, lithographs, as well as woodcuts, in several cases making over his previous works. One of his avid patrons in Berlin had been Walter Rathenau, afterward who became the German foreign minister, who heavily donated to Much's success.

During 1897, Munch purchased himself a summer home, a humble fisherman's cabin constructed in the latter 1700s which was located, in the little village of Asgaardstrand in Norway. He nicknamed the home the Happy House and went back there just about each summer in the following twenty years. At his Happy House, Munch painted, drew and sketched the things he saw around him which would be later inspiration for several of his most notable paintings. These future paintings include Girls on the Bridge, which is also called Girls on a Jetty, Melancholy, The Scream as well as the celebrated piece, the painting titled Jealousy. The cabin has since been gifted to the municipality of Asgardstrand in 1944 and acts today as a small Edvard Munch museum. Everything in the house is exactly as the artist left it.

During the fall of 1908, Munch's stress, intensified by unrestrained drinking, had grown to a critical point. The artist became subject to delusions and beliefs of persecution, and as a result of these medical problems he went into the clinic of Dr. Daniel Jacobson. The therapy Edvard Munch experienced for the following 8 months dealt with diet and also electrification, which during the periodhad been a typical method for handling anxious conditions. This treatment however is not to be mixed up with electroshock. Munch's stop in hospital appeared to stabilize his personality, and so having gone back to Norway during 1909 he took more interest in creating paintings which selected nature topics for themes. His art grew more colorful and less negative.

Through the 1930's and 1940's, the Nazis pronounced Munch's art "degenerate art", and took his paintings out of German museums. This action of having his paintings taken out of public view profoundly distressed Munch, who had grown to believe Germany was his second homeland. Munch established himself a studio and a spartan home at Ekely estate, at Skoyen, Oslo, and so passed the final years of his life here. He passed away there on January 23, 1944, approximately a month following his 80th birthday.
