Munch On The Bridge

Mention the Norwegian expressionist painter Munch,most people will think of the work "The Scream",which is the emotion of lonely,depressed or anxious people from the end of the 19 th century in Europe.The cry was instantly frozen on the face of the person in the painting.,and spread to the whole bridge.Munch has many works with the theme of bridges.The characters in "The Scream" stand at the head of the bridge,and "Girls on the Bridge" depicts the leisurely life of several women on the bridge.What is different from "The Scream" is the atmosphere of the picture.Quiet and wonderful,and Munch painted many different versions,they all have the bridge in the center of the picture,although the emotions and breaths conveyed by these works are very different.Therefore,this paper attempts to take Munch’s works about "bridge" as a research path,explore the possible meaning of the image of "bridge" to Munch,and interpret Munch and his works from different perspectives.The author explores Munch’s life and place from a multi-dimensional perspective by consulting Munch’s letters,notes,sketches and creations,as well as the biography of Munch compiled by his friends,as well as other research results about Munch.The era and society,his circle of friends and art circle,etc.,analyzes Munch’s life experience in different periods,explores the contradictions in Munch’s character and the similarities and differences in his works,and why Munch paints these two emotions that are completely opposite? These two themes have been repeatedly created in his life.why such a pair of contradictory emotions can be paralleled? Is the railing of the almost symmetrical bridge in the two paintings an accident? Does the "bridge" have a special meaning to Munch? This article intends to study the two different emotional expressions left by Munch on the bridge as a starting point,from The Scream and The Girls on the Bridge to the "The Frieze of Life",sort out his creative background,restore a more real Munch,present his creative concept,painting language and method,and form a guide for the author’s creative practice.
