Expressionist Symbolic Research on Munch's Own Experience

Bingqian Zhang

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the transformation of Edvard Munch's personal experiences into expressionist symbols. By analyzing his life
traumas, creative evolution and symbolic characteristics, it reveals the logic behind the elevation of individual experiences into a universal
artistic language.
??Munch's early works, through pathological colors, nervous lines and other elements, converted traumas such as the shadow of family
deaths into highly impactful visual symbols, with The Scream as a typical example. When he recreated his classic works in his later years, the
symbols became more ordered and abstracted, rising to philosophical reflections on life and existence.
??This transformation stems from the sedimentation of traumas and the influence of ideological trends, providing a new perspective for understanding the core of expressionism.
