Edvard Munch Autograph Letter Sold
The Norwegian Expressionism painter, Edvard Munch, is best known for his 1893 composition “The Scream”. His early works are said to be similar to Manet as he experimented with Impressionism early in his career. However, he believed that Impressionism didn’t allow for enough expression. “The Scream” has been widely influential in recent years as an inspiration to artists such as Andy Warhol and Gary Larson as well as movies and television shows such as ‘The Simpsons”. The popular face screaming in fear emoji is another modern manifestation of Munch’s “The Scream”.
