Abstract
- The article highlights the life and career of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. The section considers the art of Munch by interpreting the significance of drama for his imagery. According to the report, Munch was particularly interested in the art of drama and distinguished himself in the early years of his career by his sensitive and original rendering of people's faces and gestures. He kept himself from formal reproductions of people's countenance, and attempted instead to express their psyche and personality, sometimes exaggerating in order to stress important features.
