1863年(nian)12月12日,愛德(de)(de)華·蒙克(ke)(ke)出(chu)生于挪威雷登在奧斯陸長大。愛德(de)(de)華·蒙克(ke)(ke)的(de)父親患(huan)有(you)(you)精神病,他(ta)向他(ta)的(de)孩子們(men)(men)灌輸了對地獄的(de)根(gen)深蒂固的(de)恐懼,他(ta)一再(zai)告訴(su)他(ta)們(men)(men),如果他(ta)們(men)(men)在任(ren)何情(qing)況下、以任(ren)何方(fang)式犯有(you)(you)罪孽,他(ta)們(men)(men)就會(hui)注(zhu)定被投入地獄,沒有(you)(you)任(ren)何寬(kuan)恕的(de)機會(hui)。1879年(nian) ,愛德(de)(de)華·蒙克(ke)(ke)為成為一名工程師而進工學院念書(shu),受印象(xiang)主義畫(hua)風(feng)的(de)影響,然而,頻繁的(de)患(huan)病中斷了他(ta)的(de)學業(ye)。
1880年,愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)為了成為一名(ming)畫(hua)家而離(li)開工學院(yuan)。
1881年(nian),愛德(de)華·蒙克考進了奧斯(si)(si)陸皇家藝(yi)術和設(she)計學院,他(ta)的老師是雕刻家朱利厄斯(si)(si)·米德(de)爾頓和自然主義(yi)畫(hua)家克里斯(si)(si)蒂安·克羅格。
1885年,愛(ai)德(de)(de)華·蒙克前往巴(ba)黎(li)。他的作(zuo)品(pin)開(kai)始(shi)顯示出法國畫(hua)家的影(ying)響;一開(kai)始(shi)是(shi)印(yin)象(xiang)(xiang)派,接著(zhu)是(shi)后印(yin)象(xiang)(xiang)派,然(ran)後是(shi)新藝術造型。愛(ai)德(de)(de)華·蒙克的繪畫(hua)盡管(guan)風格上(shang)是(shi)后期印(yin)象(xiang)(xiang)派的,但(dan)在(zai)主(zhu)題上(shang)卻是(shi)象(xiang)(xiang)征派的,愛(ai)德(de)(de)華·蒙克的繪畫(hua)內容在(zai)于刻(ke)畫(hua)內心世界而(er)不是(shi)外(wai)在(zai)現實。
1889年改用傳統的畫(hua)法(fa)創作《病孩》和(he)變體畫(hua)《春》,從(cong)而獲得獎學(xue)金去法(fa)國留(liu)學(xue),從(cong)師L.博(bo)納。在(zai)法(fa)國,他在(zai)研究印象主義畫(hua)法(fa)的基礎上(shang),轉而對(dui)后印象主義和(he)納比派發生(sheng)興趣。他發現線條和(he)色彩有強烈的表現力,試圖用它們畫(hua)出活生(sheng)生(sheng)的人們,他們的呼(hu)吸(xi)、感覺、受苦(ku)受難并彼此(ci)的相愛。
1892年 愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)應邀參加柏(bo)(bo)林藝(yi)術家(jia)聯盟在11月份舉(ju)行的(de)(de)畫展。愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)的(de)(de)繪畫成了苦澀的(de)(de)爭論(lun)(lun)對象(xiang),畫展在一星(xing)期后結束。在柏(bo)(bo)林,愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)成了一個(ge)國際圈子里的(de)(de)一員,里面有作家(jia)、藝(yi)術家(jia)和(he)評論(lun)(lun)家(jia),包括挪威劇(ju)(ju)(ju)作家(jia)亨(heng)利·易(yi)卜生和(he)瑞典戲(xi)劇(ju)(ju)(ju)家(jia)奧古斯特(te)(te)·史特(te)(te)林堡。愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)為易(yi)卜生的(de)(de)幾個(ge)劇(ju)(ju)(ju)本(ben)設計了布景。
1893年12月(yue),愛(ai)德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)在柏林著名的(de)(de)菩(pu)提樹(shu)下大街開畫(hua)展(zhan)。和(he)其它作品一起,愛(ai)德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)出展(zhan)了題為(wei)“愛(ai)的(de)(de)研究系列(lie)”,由(you)六幅畫(hua)所(suo)組成。這是他此(ci)后命名為(wei)“生(sheng)命的(de)(de)飾帶 以 生(sheng)命、愛(ai)情和(he)死亡(wang)的(de)(de)詩”組畫(hua)的(de)(de)起點。它包括深深地沉浸于(yu)大氣(qi)的(de)(de)主(zhu)題《風暴》《月(yue)光》和(he)《星夜》。其它主(zhu)題有揭示(shi)愛(ai)的(de)(de)陰暗面(mian)的(de)(de),比如《玫瑰與(yu)阿美莉》和(he)《吸血鬼》。《病(bing)室里(li)的(de)(de)死亡(wang)》則以死亡(wang)為(wei)主(zhu)題,基于(yu)愛(ai)德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)對姐(jie)姐(jie)蘇菲之死的(de)(de)回(hui)憶。
1894年(nian),“生命(ming)的(de)(de)飾帶”加進了《焦躁(zao)》《灰燼》《圣母(mu)》和《女人三階(jie)段》作(zuo)品集。在世紀之(zhi)交(jiao)之(zhi)際,愛德華·蒙克完成了他的(de)(de)“生命(ming)的(de)(de)飾帶”組(zu)畫系列(lie)。
1908年(nian)秋,他的(de)(de)焦慮(lv)變得(de)深刻并(bing)在丹尼爾·賈(jia)可(ke)布(bu)遜博士的(de)(de)診(zhen)所住院(yuan)接受治(zhi)療。醫院(yuan)里施(shi)行的(de)(de)休(xiu)克療法改(gai)變了他的(de)(de)個性。
1909年愛德華(hua)(hua)·蒙克(ke)回(hui)到挪(nuo)威,更多地(di)表(biao)現出對大自然的興趣(qu),他(ta)(ta)的作品變得更富于(yu)色彩,減少了悲觀的成分(fen)。在納粹(cui)統治期間,愛德華(hua)(hua)·蒙克(ke)的作品被(bei)貼(tie)上(shang)了“頹廢(fei)藝(yi)術(shu)”的標簽,從德國的各個美術(shu)館撤了下來。反納粹(cui)主義的愛德華(hua)(hua)·蒙克(ke)來說是很傷(shang)心的,因為他(ta)(ta)把(ba)德國看作為他(ta)(ta)的第二祖國。
1944年1月23日,愛德華(hua)·蒙克(ke)于奧斯陸(lu)附近(jin)的艾可(ke)利與世長辭。他向奧斯陸(lu)捐(juan)贈了1000幅油畫,15400張版畫,4500件素描和水(shui)彩畫,還有(you)6件雕刻作(zuo)品。后來為紀念愛德華(hua)·蒙克(ke),建造了愛德華(hua)·蒙克(ke)美術館(guan)。

在當時哲學和美學思潮影響下,他(ta)努(nu)力(li)發掘(jue)人(ren)類心靈(ling)中的(de)各種狀況,表現疾病、死(si)亡、絕(jue)望、情愛等主(zhu)題。因此,他(ta)的(de)創作有“心靈(ling)的(de)現實主(zhu)義”的(de)稱號。由于(yu)受到保守勢力(li)的(de)攻擊,很快被封閉,但對(dui)德國青年畫(hua)家以很大(da)的(de)刺激,推動了表現主(zhu)義運(yun)動的(de)產生。
愛德(de)(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)通過(guo)主(zhu)題來(lai)(lai)表(biao)(biao)現(xian)他切(qie)身(shen)(shen)經歷的(de)(de)(de)對生存和(he)死亡的(de)(de)(de)感(gan)受(shou)。每一(yi)幅畫都(dou)無與倫比(bi)地強烈地傳達(da)著畫家(jia)的(de)(de)(de)感(gan)覺和(he)情(qing)緒,被(bei)描繪的(de)(de)(de)具(ju)體對象(xiang)(xiang)的(de)(de)(de)細節(jie)被(bei)簡化,而(er)情(qing)緒則被(bei)夸張(zhang),對象(xiang)(xiang)本身(shen)(shen)成為(wei)一(yi)種所要表(biao)(biao)現(xian)的(de)(de)(de)情(qing)緒的(de)(de)(de)載體,雖然它們(men)依然還是具(ju)象(xiang)(xiang)的(de)(de)(de)。這些畫具(ju)有(you)永恒(heng)的(de)(de)(de)震懾心(xin)(xin)靈的(de)(de)(de)力量。在這一(yi)切(qie)的(de)(de)(de)背(bei)後,我們(men)還可以看(kan)見(jian)那個“世紀末”的(de)(de)(de)景象(xiang)(xiang),那種迷途的(de)(de)(de)欲(yu)望深淵(yuan)和(he)無法(fa)逃脫的(de)(de)(de)死亡陰影(ying)的(de)(de)(de)怪圈,生命的(de)(de)(de)焦(jiao)躁和(he)無奈交織在一(yi)起。愛德(de)(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)作(zuo)品的(de)(de)(de)驚人表(biao)(biao)現(xian)力量來(lai)(lai)自于對藝術家(jia)內(nei)心(xin)(xin)世界的(de)(de)(de)不加(jia)掩飾的(de)(de)(de)忠實(shi)表(biao)(biao)達(da),愛德(de)(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)的(de)(de)(de)畫是用整個心(xin)(xin)靈來(lai)(lai)創作(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)。
愛德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克的(de)作品筆觸大(da)膽奔放、色(se)彩艷麗(li)豐富,但卻給人(ren)強烈的(de)刺激感,充滿著緊(jin)張不安、壓抑悲傷(shang)的(de)情緒。愛德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克所(suo)描繪的(de)世(shi)界是(shi)人(ren)類(lei)復(fu)雜(za)的(de)精神世(shi)界,他刻意表現死(si)亡(wang)、憂郁和(he)(he)孤獨(du),描寫上(shang)世(shi)紀(ji)末(mo)的(de)藝術(shu)家(jia)在充滿矛(mao)盾(dun)與痛苦(ku)的(de)現實(shi)中,其孤獨(du)的(de)心靈(ling)對人(ren)生(sheng)產生(sheng)的(de)懷疑和(he)(he)焦慮。
藝(yi)術史家稱愛(ai)德華(hua)·蒙克為“世紀末”的(de)(de)(de)(de)藝(yi)術家,因為他(ta)(ta)的(de)(de)(de)(de)作品反映了歐洲整整一(yi)代(dai)人(ren)(ren)的(de)(de)(de)(de)精神生(sheng)活(huo)面(mian)貌。在愛(ai)德華(hua)·蒙克生(sheng)活(huo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)時(shi)代(dai),再沒(mei)有別的(de)(de)(de)(de)藝(yi)術能夠像他(ta)(ta)那樣(yang)深入(ru)到人(ren)(ren)的(de)(de)(de)(de)靈(ling)魂(hun)之(zhi)中,把那心靈(ling)的(de)(de)(de)(de)美與(yu)(yu)丑一(yi)并展(zhan)現給世人(ren)(ren)。也沒(mei)有人(ren)(ren)敢于像他(ta)(ta)那樣(yang)赤裸裸地描寫人(ren)(ren)類本(ben)能的(de)(de)(de)(de)丑惡(e),使善(shan)良與(yu)(yu)罪惡(e)并存,讓(rang)美麗與(yu)(yu)丑陋共生(sheng)。
