Edvard Munch is regarded as the pioneer of the Expressionist movement in modern painting. At an early stage Munch was recognised in Germany and central Europe as one of the creators of a new and different movement of art, that helped artists to express their feelings about all the social change that was happening around them.

Art represents the divine through delivering what could be captured in our eyes, and the nature is the best media for human’s spiritual transcendence. During the period between 1880 and 1930, because of the rapid urban development in Europe and North America, the nature had become the path for artists to explore spiritual mediation. Natural landscape was widely used by artists as a metaphor for life of spirits, while the urban landscapes is regarded as the death of spirits. From the ongoing exhibition “Mystic Landscapes: Masterpieces from Monet, Van Gogh and more” in the Art Gallery of Ontario, it is interesting to find that the two masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch are sharing some similarities even though they were working on the different subject matters. In terms of chronologies of art history, there is commonplace to consider the subtle relations between the works of Van Gogh and Munch. These two artists who had gained outstanding achievement on their artistic career, both went to Paris for further professional training yet never met each other. Since the 1900s, Van Gogh’s and Munch’s works were exposed to the public on various art exhibitions, and were often displayed side by side since they are both experts using brushstrokes to create modern visual effects. Though Munch and Van Gogh’s painting are differing from each other on their practice of using paint (color), brushwork and lines, they were focusing on studying nature to observe inner human

Ravi delivers the news to major and Liv that the cure is temporary. My first thought was yay now they can be together while Ravi can pinpoint exactly when Major will revert back into a zombie he will eventually become one again. Blaine’s reaction to the news is priceless “Do I need to add brains to my Christmas list?” I couldn’t love Blaine anymore if I tried the sarcasm, the snarky and the general lack of empathy for those around him except on Christmas. When he becomes a kind and generous soul or maybe it’s just because he’ll be a zombie soon either way still love Blaine. Liv’s brain of the week is Santa himself, however, they skipped the recipe so we don’t know how he was prepared. I’m thinking with sugar cookies and brain. Liv still helps Clive as an attempt to get back in his good graces. While the trio Liv, Major and Ravi search the field for the dead bodies full of tainted utopium. Love scorned Rita tries to turn Vaughn (her father) against Major and get him cast out of the company. After Vaughn praises, his work and Major even gives him a fitness bracelet.

[Topic Justification] Before I started taking a survey of art class at ISU, this disquieting painting was all I knew about Edvard Munch’s work.

People express their emotions, creativity, and imagination through art. Emotions sometimes are understood better by words and drawing, for example, Paul Cezanne paints to express himself. One of his works is the basket of apples, which shows a table with a basket of apples on it and the apples are falling on the table. Cezanne is trying to get in people’s imagination, he wants people to look at his panting in a different way then normal. The panting uses many line, space, and texture.

Edward Munch piece of art titled The Scream (1983) was created in Oslo, Norway. It is one of the most popular work of art in the world and it is currently located at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Most of the paintings created by this artist were done in oil, pastel on cardboard; including this one. The characteristics of this piece of art present a subjective perspective, the artist didn't fail to capture the feeling or experience of the figure, even though he didn't achieve complete or accurate depiction, which makes this painting of a impressionism style.

While visiting Hannah Hall at Texas Southern University, I saw several murals that spoke to me. One mural in particular depicted the perfect image of distraught, anguish, and the depression Olaudah experienced. The mural is very dark, the artist uses shadow and light to distinguish the intense emotions of one face in three stages of grief. The background is dark, this suggests that the artist is in a state of depression. There is a hand that is larger than the figures in scale, reaching out and grabbing a figure of a man in deep thought. This represents God testing Olaudah’s faith with trials and tribulations. When reading The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Gustavus Vassa the African Written by Himself, I could feel the emotions he expressed

Emotions in art have social implications, and they always have something in common with the original feelings experienced by every human being, so an artist never experiences merely a simple emotion, but rather a kind of a general social feeling.

Munch’s theory on art is that “art is the opposite of nature”, it isn’t supposed to be an exact replica of what is being seen but rather using what one is seeing as inspiration for one’s emotions (Chipp pg. 114). The idea is that nature is not supposed to be replicated because nature is its own great realm that one must not interfere with. Art is supposed to be a reflection of the artist and their emotions and how the natural world they are in makes them feel. This is a more drastic shift away from impressionism than the post-impressionists. Instead of slightly changing the world that surrounds them, like the post-impressionists, Munch, and other symbolists, completely changed the world to reflect their feelings.

According to edvardmunch.org, Edvard Munch’s painting “Separation” painted in 1896, like his other paintings, represented German expressionism. Expressionist paintings portray profound mental torment and have dark, gloomy undertones. The dark nature of his paintings is in part due to the fact that his father suffered from a mental illness, which profoundly impacted his upbringing. However, his paintings from about 1892 to 1908 reveal his interest in nature and are brighter than all of his previous work. Munch expresses the nature of his soul through symbolizing the natural world rather than just superficially painting what is visible to the eye. His painting Separation is an epitome of these characteristics in the context of love, showing the

     Munch had a series of paintings that were exhibited in a major art show in Berlin. The series was entitled The Frieze of Life, all six of these paintings caused such shock that the show was forced to shut down.
