Edvard Munch has a great achievement in his series of love and death. He formed six pictures exhibited in 1893. The series grew to 22 works by the time he exhibited “Frieze of life” in Berlin in 1902. He would rearrange the paintings then change the prices to sell.
Munch began studying art in Christiania . Munch was from the very start an innovator. True, he painted genre scenes, but in a spirit all his own. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was five. At fourteen, he watched his fifteen-year-old sister Sophie die to the same disease. When, at twenty-two, he acquired the means to portray the illness, her death became an obsession to which he returned again and again: the wan face in profile against the pillow, the despairing mother at the bedside, the muted light, the tousled hair, the useless glass of water.
“The Kiss”, is shown by a man and an women embracing each other they are conjoined in one. They seem so connected that they are one person. The color in the back is light to empathize on the two people in kissing. The lines all form together to form this beautiful picture.
