Edvard Munch Collection 
EDVARD MUNCH
was born December 12, 1863 at Engelhaugen Farm in Loten, Norway. In 1881 he
entered the School of Design, studying freehand drawing and modeling. In 1892,
Munch exhibited paintings in Berlin that caused such violent outcry that the
exhibit closed after only a week. During this time, Munch also began work on his
famous series of paintings, "The Frieze of Life," a thematic series he
described thusly: "The Frieze is conceived as a series of decorative
pictures which will collectively present a picture of life. They are traversed
by the curved shoreline; beyond lies the ever-moving sea, and under the
tree-tops is life in all its fullness, its variety, its joys and its
sufferings." The most famous canvas from the "Frieze" series is
"The Scream" (1893). With swirling textures and bold colors, the
painting captures a moment of anxiety and terror. Munch died in 1944, only a
month after his eightieth birthday.
