A silent scream- Munch in Orsay

Life, love and death do feature in all of his works: From haunted portraits, to scenes of domestic dramas, from images of vampire women, and melancholic depictions of disease and death, Munch is an obsessive painter, returning again and again to the same ideas, the same motifs. There is something irresistibly human in his grappling with love and death. His work is urgent, existential, intense.
