Edvard Munch Paintings

Edvard Munch paintings provide us with some of the best examples from the European expressionist art movement and most remain in a single museum in Norway, where the artist spent his whole life. This blogger post will illustrate the qualities that Munch brought to the art world and also highlight which to be his finest paintings.



Norway owes a debt of gratitude to Munch who really helped to put their art scene onto the global map with his own innovative art which really left an impressive legacy which remains very stoong today, as underlined by the way in which The Scream is so well known across the world.

• Death in the Sickroom
