The anxiety, unhappiness, love, human relationships, unrest and melancholy themes of the world-famous and screaming painting, symbolist and expressionist Norwegian painter Edward Munch are the main themes of his works. Some of the illnesses and deaths that family members experienced in his childhood affected him deeply and he became the biggest inspiration for his works he created in later periods.
Evening in one of his important works, Karl Johan, depicts people walking on the curb in Oslo, Norway. The anxiety and anxiety of the crowd in bourgeois clothes can be read one by one because of each. These people are so worried about melancholy because they comply with the normative attitudes of the class they belong to.
It is as if he is walking towards the audience with the feelings of pain, anxiety and loneliness on that crowded face. Another thing that tries to spoil the gloomy air in the painting is a little bit, the color of the sky and the bright lights emitted from the windows in the buildings.
According to what he wrote in some sources, there is a man facing back to the audience who might be Munch himself. Munch writes in his diary: "The passers were staring at him strangely. He tried to gaze at him in the faint evening light. If he tried to dive into some thoughts, he failed. There was nothing in the head of his head. she was shaking and was in sweat ".
We can not see her anxiety, we can only dream. Perhaps this man is a man who wants to get over some rules that society imposes and tries to stay alone with himself. In fact, this is a situation that he has written. Going in the opposite direction and being alone shows that he refuses the crowd, stays away and does not want to take part in them. This standstill gives the picture a sad and melancholic expression.
