Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch was an amazing talented artist. His obsession with death caused most of his pictures to portray an image of death, despair and anxiety. The Norwegian artist struggled with tragdies at a young age. These tragdies plagued Munch throughout his life, causing him to have a nervous break down and problems in relationships.

His familiarity with death and despair helped him name the series of "Frieze of Life" and divide his series into four thematic heads, Loves Awakening, Loves Blossoms and Dies, Fear of Life, and Death. These series are linked in vertical lines and horizontal lines. With in theses four categories there are at least ten paintings.

The skeleton like faces Munch says were "prisoners in middle class normal[ity]. He enjoyed learning and teaching others.
