Early <strong>Expressionism</strong><br />
- Edvard Munch (1863 - 1944) was a<br />
Symbolist artist, a movement that<br />
preceded <strong>Expressionism</strong>.<br />
- The Symbolist manifesto described<br />
Symbolism as:<br />
In this art, scenes from nature,<br />
human activities, and all other real<br />
world phenomena will not be<br />
described for their own sake; here,<br />
they are perceptible surfaces created<br />
to represent their esoteric affinities<br />
with the primordial Ideals. In a<br />
nutshell, 'to depict not the thing but<br />
the effect it produces'<br />
- Munch is considered one of the<br />
primary artists who inspired the<br />
Expressionists.<br />
