1957 Print Edvard Munch Poisonous Flower Woman Symbolism Femme Fatale Thorn Art

$46.95 USD
This is an original 1957 halftone print of a piece by Edvard Munch (1863-1944) entitled "Poisonous Flower." Munch was known for his ability to infuse any piece with the emotion of any overarching theme such as death, love or anguish; however he was a little more direct with this one, choosing symbolism over a more expressionistic portrayal of womanhood and the femme fatale. Although he is considered to be one of the pioneers of expressionism, Munch did explore other styles throughout the various stages of his artistic career. He is most famous for his iconic piece titled "The Scream."

Munch, Edvard

Edvard Munch (Dec. 12, 1863 Ð Jan. 23, 1944) was a Norwegian Symbolist painter, printmaker and forerunner of the Expressionist Art movement. Despite his illness and fatherÕs abusive nature, Munch enrolled at the Royal School of Art and Design of Christiania. He spent time in Paris and Berlin where he picked up inspiration and culture. His most famous painting is ÒThe ScreamÓ which expressed his own anxiety. Even with that success he spent most of his later years in isolation due to the Nazi hatred for his ÒdegenerateÓ art, which they removed from their museums. He died in Oslo where he bequeathed his art to the city, who built a museum in honor of him.
