The Private Journals of Edvard Munch
Scandinavia's most famous painter, the Norwegian Edvard Munch (1863-1944), is probably best known for his painting The Scream, a universally recognized icon of terror and despair.

In his works, Munch turned again and again to the memory of illness, death and grief. During his career, Munch changed his idiom many times.
