Edvard Munch The Scream Poster

Poster developed from Edvard Munch’s _The Scream,_ 1895, from The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection. Edvard Munch’s work has been frequently connected to his emotional pain and instability, as his iconic work _The Scream_ suggests. However, when his art is considered in light of his personal diaries and letters and the writings of contemporary critics, a very different picture of the artist emerges. Contrary to the prevailing view, recent scholarship demonstrates that Munch was very much in control of his professional career, a savvy businessman keenly aware of how to manipulate the art market and shape popular opinion. Moreover, he built his art on specifically Norwegian pictorial traditions.
