Edvard Munch uses themes to express his personally experienced feelings about life and death. Each painting conveys the feelings and emotions of the artist with unparalleled intensity, the details of the specific objects depicted are simplified, the emotions are exaggerated, and the objects themselves become a carrier of the emotions to be expressed, although they remain figurative. These paintings have a timeless power to shock the soul. Behind all this, we can also see the scene of the "end of the century", the strange circle of the abyss of lost desire and the inescapable shadow of death, and the anxiety and helplessness of life. The amazing expressive power of Edvard Munch's work comes from the unabashed faithful expression of the artist's inner world, and Edvard Munch's paintings are created with the whole mind.

Edvard Mondor takes life, death, love, terror and loneliness as themes, using strong lines of contrast,
Color block
Concise and exaggerated modeling to express their feelings and emotions; His painting style is German and
Central Europe
A prelude to the formation of expressionism.
Edvard Munch's early oil paintings
Sick child
", "At the Deathbed", "Mother's Death", mostly memories of childhood and teenage life. The oil paintings "St. Cloud Nights" (1890) and "Carl John Street Nights" (1892) marked a turning point in his style, showing his expressionist qualities. The 1990s are the most
representativeness
His works are "Love in Spring" and "The Scream", the former depicting people
Put under house arrest
The latter describes people's fear of loneliness and death. He began his printmaking career in 1894, working in woodcuts, lithographs,
Copperplate print
There are unique creations. Most of his prints are based on oil paintings, including Life.
A series of paintings
The most remarkable, which he himself called the poem of life, love and death.
During his career as a painter, Edvard Munch changed his style several times. In the 1880s, Edvard Munch was a naturalist and half
impressionism
. In 1892, Edvard Munch established the original style of integrated painting with his personal characteristics, in which color became a symbol and an element with a bearing function. In the 1890s, Edvard Munch preferred
Depth of Field
In the shallow painting space, he often placed the figures in his paintings at the front desk.
Edvard Munch always wanted to show what was inside his characters
Mental state
The figures appearing in his paintings present the posture that can best express this state, and this arrangement makes Edvard Munch's paintings bring a feeling as if people, air, memory, action and time were frozen in a moment, which may be the moment when the inner activities of the figures reach their peak.
For the characters painted by Edvard Munch, like the characters in a play, it is likely that each particular posture represents a particular emotion, similar to a certain
Body language
. Since the figures Edvard Munch painted were on a mission to represent a particular state of mind, the men and women he created were not realistic. Edvard Munch insisted that Impressionism was not suitable for his art. He is not interested in describing any cross-section of reality, but rather in describing a state that is full of emotional connotations and has great expressive power. In order to achieve this, Edvard Munch worked hard to conceive, and his work created tension.
[2]
Edvard Munch's works are bold and colorful, but they give people a strong sense of stimulation, full of tension, depression and sadness. The world described by Edvard Munch is the complex spiritual world of human beings. He deliberately expresses death, depression and loneliness, and describes the doubts and anxieties of the lonely hearts of artists in the reality full of contradictions and pains at the end of the last century.
Art historians have called Edvard Munch the artist of the "end of the century" because his work reflected the spiritual life of an entire generation in Europe. In Edvard Munch's time, no other art could penetrate into the human soul as he did, showing the beauty and ugliness of that soul to the world. No one dared to describe the ugliness of human instinct as he did, making good and evil coexist, beauty and ugliness coexist.
