One of the most prolific and influential proponents of modern art, Edvard Munch (1863-1944), was inspired by Symbolism, Post-Impressionism and Expressionism. The Norwegian artist was fuelled by a psychologically charged state of mind that punctured his paintings with a sense of anxiety and loneliness.
One day, he claims to have heard “the scream of nature” which led to his masterpiece,The Scream(1893). It went on to become one of the most expensive paintings in the world.
