Edvard Munch original poster, 'Beyond the Scream', for an exhibition of his work being held in Athens, 2010-2011, measures 69cm by 49cm, framed and glazed. Edvard Munch was a prolific yet perpetually troubled artist preoccupied with matters of human mortality such as chronic illness, sexual liberation, and religious Taspiration. He expressed these obsessions through works of intense color, semi-abstraction, and mysterious subject matter, such as his famed painting titled The Scream. Following the great triumph of French Impressionism, Munch took up the more graphic, symbolist sensibility of the influential Paul Gauguin, and in turn became one of the most controversial and eventually renowned artists among a new generation of continental Expressionist and Symbolist painters.
