Actually, Edvard isn’t envious of anything, because much like Mr. Pollack, Edvard is dead. One thing Munch is, though, is pronounced liked Moonk. And was born in 1863 and died in 1908. And is considered an Early Expressionist, the blueprint for Expressionism — where distorted forms and color was used to portray emotion, like in “Amor & Psyche”…

Moonk is famous for his “The Scream” , which early expresses his cracking mind and anxiety. He suffered from much neurosis since his childhood, which he early expressed by saying “Illness, madness, and death were the black angels that kept watch over my cradle.” His family died when he was young, except for his father, who Moonk feared. When his painting, “Puberty“, hung at the gallery his father attended, Moonk ordered for it to be covered.

He suffered nervous breakdowns and was treated for depression, yet he said he wouldn’t lose it, “for there is much in my art that I owe to it.”
