1863年12月12日,愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)出生于(yu)挪威雷登(deng)在(zai)奧斯陸(lu)長大。愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)的父親患(huan)有精神病,他向他的孩(hai)子們(men)灌輸了(le)對地(di)獄(yu)的根(gen)深蒂固的恐懼,他一(yi)(yi)再告訴他們(men),如果他們(men)在(zai)任(ren)何情況下、以任(ren)何方式犯有罪孽(nie),他們(men)就(jiu)會注定被投入(ru)地(di)獄(yu),沒有任(ren)何寬恕的機會。1879年 ,愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)為(wei)成為(wei)一(yi)(yi)名工程師而進工學(xue)院念書(shu),受印象主義畫風的影響,然而,頻繁(fan)的患(huan)病中斷(duan)了(le)他的學(xue)業。
1880年,愛德華·蒙克為了成(cheng)為一名(ming)畫家而離(li)開工(gong)學院(yuan)。
1881年,愛德華·蒙(meng)克(ke)考進(jin)了奧斯陸(lu)皇家(jia)藝術和(he)設計(ji)學院(yuan),他的老(lao)師是雕刻(ke)家(jia)朱(zhu)利(li)厄斯·米德爾頓(dun)和(he)自然主義畫家(jia)克(ke)里斯蒂安·克(ke)羅(luo)格(ge)。
1885年,愛德(de)華(hua)·蒙克(ke)前往巴黎。他的(de)(de)作(zuo)品(pin)開始顯示出法國畫(hua)(hua)家(jia)的(de)(de)影響;一開始是(shi)印(yin)(yin)象(xiang)(xiang)派(pai),接(jie)著是(shi)后(hou)印(yin)(yin)象(xiang)(xiang)派(pai),然(ran)後是(shi)新藝術造型(xing)。愛德(de)華(hua)·蒙克(ke)的(de)(de)繪畫(hua)(hua)盡管(guan)風(feng)格上是(shi)后(hou)期印(yin)(yin)象(xiang)(xiang)派(pai)的(de)(de),但在主(zhu)題上卻是(shi)象(xiang)(xiang)征派(pai)的(de)(de),愛德(de)華(hua)·蒙克(ke)的(de)(de)繪畫(hua)(hua)內容在于刻畫(hua)(hua)內心世界而不是(shi)外(wai)在現實(shi)。
1889年改用傳(chuan)統的(de)畫(hua)法創作《病孩》和變體畫(hua)《春》,從(cong)而(er)獲得獎學金去法國(guo)留學,從(cong)師L.博納。在(zai)法國(guo),他(ta)(ta)在(zai)研究印(yin)象主義畫(hua)法的(de)基(ji)礎上,轉而(er)對后印(yin)象主義和納比派發生興(xing)趣。他(ta)(ta)發現(xian)線條和色彩有強烈的(de)表現(xian)力,試圖用它們畫(hua)出活生生的(de)人們,他(ta)(ta)們的(de)呼吸、感覺、受苦受難并(bing)彼此的(de)相愛。
1892年 愛(ai)德華·蒙(meng)克(ke)應邀(yao)參加柏林(lin)(lin)藝(yi)術(shu)家(jia)聯盟在11月份舉行的(de)畫展。愛(ai)德華·蒙(meng)克(ke)的(de)繪畫成(cheng)了(le)(le)苦澀的(de)爭論(lun)對象,畫展在一星(xing)期后結束。在柏林(lin)(lin),愛(ai)德華·蒙(meng)克(ke)成(cheng)了(le)(le)一個國(guo)際圈(quan)子里的(de)一員,里面有作(zuo)家(jia)、藝(yi)術(shu)家(jia)和(he)評論(lun)家(jia),包括(kuo)挪威劇作(zuo)家(jia)亨(heng)利·易卜生和(he)瑞典戲劇家(jia)奧古斯特·史特林(lin)(lin)堡。愛(ai)德華·蒙(meng)克(ke)為易卜生的(de)幾個劇本設計了(le)(le)布景。
1893年(nian)12月(yue),愛(ai)德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)在柏林著名的(de)菩提樹(shu)下大街開畫(hua)(hua)(hua)展。和其(qi)它作品一起,愛(ai)德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)出展了(le)題(ti)(ti)為(wei)(wei)(wei)“愛(ai)的(de)研究系列”,由六幅(fu)畫(hua)(hua)(hua)所組成。這是他此后命(ming)(ming)名為(wei)(wei)(wei)“生命(ming)(ming)的(de)飾帶(dai) 以(yi) 生命(ming)(ming)、愛(ai)情和死(si)(si)亡(wang)(wang)的(de)詩”組畫(hua)(hua)(hua)的(de)起點。它包括深深地沉(chen)浸于大氣的(de)主題(ti)(ti)《風暴》《月(yue)光》和《星夜》。其(qi)它主題(ti)(ti)有揭(jie)示愛(ai)的(de)陰暗面的(de),比如(ru)《玫(mei)瑰與阿美(mei)莉》和《吸血鬼》。《病室(shi)里的(de)死(si)(si)亡(wang)(wang)》則以(yi)死(si)(si)亡(wang)(wang)為(wei)(wei)(wei)主題(ti)(ti),基于愛(ai)德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)對姐姐蘇菲之死(si)(si)的(de)回憶。
1894年(nian),“生(sheng)(sheng)命(ming)的(de)飾帶(dai)”加進了(le)《焦(jiao)躁》《灰燼》《圣母(mu)》和《女人三(san)階(jie)段》作(zuo)品集。在世紀之交之際(ji),愛(ai)德華·蒙克(ke)完成(cheng)了(le)他的(de)“生(sheng)(sheng)命(ming)的(de)飾帶(dai)”組畫(hua)系列。
1908年秋,他(ta)的(de)焦慮(lv)變得深刻并在(zai)丹尼爾(er)·賈可布遜(xun)博士的(de)診所住院接受治療。醫院里施行的(de)休克療法(fa)改變了他(ta)的(de)個性。
1909年愛(ai)(ai)德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克(ke)回到挪(nuo)威,更(geng)多地表現出對大自然(ran)的(de)興趣,他的(de)作(zuo)(zuo)品(pin)變得更(geng)富于色彩,減少了(le)悲觀的(de)成分。在納粹統(tong)治期間(jian),愛(ai)(ai)德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克(ke)的(de)作(zuo)(zuo)品(pin)被貼上了(le)“頹廢(fei)藝術(shu)”的(de)標簽,從德國(guo)(guo)的(de)各個(ge)美術(shu)館撤(che)了(le)下(xia)來(lai)。反納粹主義的(de)愛(ai)(ai)德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克(ke)來(lai)說是很傷(shang)心的(de),因為(wei)(wei)他把德國(guo)(guo)看作(zuo)(zuo)為(wei)(wei)他的(de)第二祖國(guo)(guo)。
1944年1月23日(ri),愛德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克于奧斯陸附近的艾可利與世長辭。他向(xiang)奧斯陸捐贈了(le)1000幅油畫(hua),15400張版(ban)畫(hua),4500件素描(miao)和水彩畫(hua),還有6件雕刻(ke)作品(pin)。后來為紀念(nian)愛德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克,建造了(le)愛德華(hua)·蒙(meng)克美術館(guan)。

在(zai)當(dang)時(shi)哲學和美學思潮影響下(xia),他努力(li)(li)發掘人類心靈(ling)中的(de)(de)各種狀況(kuang),表現疾病、死亡(wang)、絕望、情愛等主題。因此,他的(de)(de)創作有“心靈(ling)的(de)(de)現實主義”的(de)(de)稱號。由(you)于(yu)受到保(bao)守勢(shi)力(li)(li)的(de)(de)攻(gong)擊,很(hen)快被(bei)封閉(bi),但對德(de)國青年畫(hua)家以(yi)很(hen)大的(de)(de)刺(ci)激,推動(dong)了表現主義運動(dong)的(de)(de)產生(sheng)。
愛德(de)(de)華·蒙克通過主題來(lai)表(biao)現(xian)他切身(shen)經歷的(de)(de)(de)(de)對生(sheng)存和死亡(wang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)感受。每一(yi)幅畫都無(wu)與倫比地強(qiang)烈地傳達著畫家(jia)的(de)(de)(de)(de)感覺和情(qing)緒(xu),被(bei)描繪的(de)(de)(de)(de)具體對象的(de)(de)(de)(de)細節(jie)被(bei)簡(jian)化,而情(qing)緒(xu)則(ze)被(bei)夸(kua)張,對象本(ben)身(shen)成(cheng)為一(yi)種所要表(biao)現(xian)的(de)(de)(de)(de)情(qing)緒(xu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)載體,雖然它們依(yi)然還是具象的(de)(de)(de)(de)。這些畫具有永恒的(de)(de)(de)(de)震懾(she)心靈的(de)(de)(de)(de)力量。在這一(yi)切的(de)(de)(de)(de)背後,我們還可以(yi)看(kan)見那(nei)個“世紀末”的(de)(de)(de)(de)景象,那(nei)種迷途的(de)(de)(de)(de)欲望深淵和無(wu)法逃脫的(de)(de)(de)(de)死亡(wang)陰影(ying)的(de)(de)(de)(de)怪(guai)圈,生(sheng)命的(de)(de)(de)(de)焦躁和無(wu)奈交織在一(yi)起。愛德(de)(de)華·蒙克作品(pin)的(de)(de)(de)(de)驚人(ren)表(biao)現(xian)力量來(lai)自(zi)于對藝術家(jia)內(nei)心世界的(de)(de)(de)(de)不加掩飾(shi)的(de)(de)(de)(de)忠(zhong)實表(biao)達,愛德(de)(de)華·蒙克的(de)(de)(de)(de)畫是用整個心靈來(lai)創作的(de)(de)(de)(de)。
愛(ai)德華(hua)·蒙克的(de)(de)作品(pin)筆觸大膽奔放、色彩艷麗豐富(fu),但卻給人強烈的(de)(de)刺(ci)激感(gan),充滿(man)著(zhu)緊張不安、壓(ya)抑悲傷的(de)(de)情(qing)緒。愛(ai)德華(hua)·蒙克所描(miao)繪(hui)的(de)(de)世界(jie)是人類復雜(za)的(de)(de)精神世界(jie),他刻意表現(xian)死亡、憂郁和孤獨,描(miao)寫上世紀末的(de)(de)藝(yi)術家在充滿(man)矛盾與痛苦(ku)的(de)(de)現(xian)實中,其孤獨的(de)(de)心靈(ling)對人生產(chan)生的(de)(de)懷疑(yi)和焦慮。
藝術史家(jia)稱愛德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)為(wei)“世紀末”的(de)(de)藝術家(jia),因為(wei)他的(de)(de)作(zuo)品反映(ying)了(le)歐洲整整一代(dai)人(ren)的(de)(de)精神生活面貌。在愛德(de)華·蒙(meng)克(ke)生活的(de)(de)時代(dai),再沒有別的(de)(de)藝術能(neng)夠像他那(nei)(nei)(nei)樣深(shen)入到人(ren)的(de)(de)靈(ling)魂之(zhi)中(zhong),把那(nei)(nei)(nei)心靈(ling)的(de)(de)美與丑一并展現給世人(ren)。也沒有人(ren)敢于像他那(nei)(nei)(nei)樣赤裸(luo)裸(luo)地描寫人(ren)類本能(neng)的(de)(de)丑惡(e),使(shi)善良與罪(zui)惡(e)并存,讓美麗與丑陋共生。
