Edvard Munch was a highly influential Norwegian painter and printmaker recognized as a key pioneer of Expressionism.

 Munch's art is deeply rooted in his traumatic early life, including the deaths of his mother and sister. His work consistently explores intense psychological themes such as anxiety, isolation, fear, love, and death.

 His most famous work, "The Scream" (1893), has become the definitive visual representation of modern existential dread and universal human suffering.

Munch's profound focus on inner psychological turmoil significantly influenced 20th-century German Expressionists and cemented his place as one of the most important figures in modern art.
