The Sick Child By Munch
Edvard Munch
1863 - 1944
Expressionism - Symbolism
Norwegeian
Edvard Munch studied for a short time in Paris with notable art students of the day. He was much influenced by the works of Gauguin and Van Gogh. Later in life, he suffered under the influence of depressive fear and anxiety. This state reflected the tone of art that he produced the rest of his life. During World War II, the Nazi's removed his paintings from German museums, designating them as Stone Age Art. He died before the end of the war in 1944.

Chez Le Pere Lathuile By Manet
Edouard Manet
1832 - 1883
Manet, not to be confused with Monet, was the pivotal turning point for the Impression movement of the latter 19th century. He was a steady exhibitor of the Paris Salon, so did not join the Impressionist in any of their showings. He was one of the first painters to render the ordinary people of the city and country side. He was a noted portrait painter in the area and operated his own studios, which was difficult for most of the artist of the day. He collaborated with all of the artists that would become famous later on. He died early in life from complications of a leg amputation.
