Edvard Munch

 Reading a Guardian article about the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (watching the football would be just far too normal), I was struck by his expressive brushwork and handling of colour to create tension and atmosphere. Studying the artists works has given me some idea of how to construct a project focussing on human beings (figures or faces), whilst not making them the SUBJECT of the painting, but making aspects of the human condition, emotions and impulses the main aspect of the painting.
