Expressionist picture "Girl group on a bridge" (1902) by Edvard Munch, Limit. reproduction

The Norwegian painter and graphic artist Edvard Munch is considered one of the most important pioneers of Expressionism. His works address the great human tragedies between Eros and Death, relentlessly deals with existential feelings such as fear, despair and love. Especially the famous painting "The Scream" embodies this dark mood and mirrors T Munch's own biographical losses and fights with depression. With his innovative visual language, in which he peculiarly deformed motifs and uses a dynamic painting style with strong colors, he created urgent emotions on the screen. Munch's influence is undeniable; Nevertheless, his iconic work was stolen in the summer of 2004 during a spectacular art streak and could only be brought back in 2006, but it has not been reversed due to damage.
