Edvard Munch was a great painter of the late 1800s. He was a Norwegian Symbolist painter whose work was a forerunner of Expressionist art as done by figures such as Van Gogh. Very poor and ill for most of his childhood, Munch received much of his schooling through tutoring by his siblings, aunt and father. It was by drawing that Munch entertained himself most of the time, especially during the long winters when he was ill. Soon Munch’s interest in drawing turned into a career in painting. Though his style of painting was influenced heavily by the Post-Impressionist painters, Munch’s art was more Symbolist in style than anything else. |
