Norwegian painter famous for The Scream?

• A. Kandinsky
• B. Gauguin
• C. Munch
• D. Picasso

Answer: (C)

This question tests your ability to match a famous artwork with the correct artist and place it in the right artistic context. The Scream is by Edvard Munch, a Norwegian painter whose work helped shape Expressionism by focusing on intense emotion and existential fear. The image—an anguished figure against a swirling, dramatic sky—captures a sense of anxiety that became a hallmark of modern art. Munch created several versions, but the association with him is strongest and most widely remembered. Compare him to the other artists: Kandinsky was a pioneer of abstract art, moving away from recognizable subjects toward pure color and form; Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist known for bold color and scenes from Tahiti; Picasso, a Spanish-born artist, is renowned for Cubism and many phases that redefined modern painting. While all are major figures, none is the artist behind The Scream.
