Painting background

Edvard Munch (December 12, 1863 – January 23, 1944) was a world-renowned Norwegian painter. His paintings are characterized by strong subjectivity and sad and depressive emotions. Picasso and Matisse have absorbed their artistic nourishment, and some artists from Germany and France have also been inspired by their works. His intense and evocative approach to psychological discomfort had a major influence on the growth of German Expressionism in the early 20th century. Munch was a painter of many talents and a unique style. During the sixty-three years since he was seventeen when he decided to dedicate himself to artistic creation until his death at the age of eighty in January 1944, he created more than 1,700 oil paintings, a large number of drawings and sketches, and 800 different works, thematic prints and colorful techniques full of energy. The most powerful characteristic of Munch's artistic works is that through landscapes, workers, portraits and self-portraits, he deeply expressed the transition from the discomfort of life to the anxiety of love, and from the fear of death to the acceptance of life. . His paintings also have the cold and penetrating influence of the Danish playwright Ibsen; and insists on representing the pain of love and the fear of death in life, reflecting the anxiety of the Nordic people about life. In Munch's paintings we can feel the helplessness of people before the irresistible power of sex: the mystery of life and sexual anxiety replace aesthetic romantic fear. "Puberty", "The Kiss", "The Scream", etc. They are all Munch's masterpieces. The Vampire painting represents a man and a woman hugging, and the woman appears to kiss or bite his neck. Munch would paint six different versions, 1893 and 1895. Three versions of the same subject are in the collection of the Munch Museum in Oslo, one is in the Kunstmuseum Gothenburg and the other is owned by a private collector. The truth is that Munch did not call the painting "Dracula." He called it "Love and Pain," and only later did it receive a name and an explanation of a man embraced by a vampire. Munch insisted that it was nothing more than a woman kissing a man's neck. In this painting we see a man in pain, he hugs his lover while she tries to console him. Maybe she even rested her face on his shoulder. Some thought it was some kind of shocking fantasy about the death of their favorite sister.
