Edvard Munch, one of the greatest artists of his time, was born in Norway in 1863. In 1899 he travelled to Paris, where
he became familiar with the current trends in French art. He began to develop an unusual artistic style, in which he tried
to express his deep inner feelings rather than the appearance of what he was painting. This style later became known as
Expressionism, and many 20th century artists were influenced by him. At the time, though, Norwegian critics could not
understand his work and found it shocking. Munch moved to Germany in 1892, but met with the same reaction there.
An exhibition of his paintings in a Berlin gallery caused such strong protests that the gallery had to be closed after only
a few days. When people slowly started to accept his style of painting, his work became well-known for the powerful
emotions it showed. His most famous work, a painting called "The Scream", is an image of a terrified, screaming figure
in a twisted landscape. As well as painting, he was also interested in print making. When Edvard Munch died in 1944,
he left many of his paintings and prints to the city of Oslo in Norway. The rest can be found in museums and in famous
collections around the world.
