Question

An author recounts his anxiety curating an exhibition of this artist in the book-length study So Much Longing in So Little Space. A sun colorfully bursts as it rises on the ocean horizon in one of the 11 murals this artist painted for a university hall in a style that he adopted after a mental breakdown. In a painting by this artist set in a forest, a woman in white stares at the viewer and clutches her red hair as a man in black (10[1])looks away. Family members (10[1])fold their hands (10[1])in prayer around a bed in one of this artist’s (10[1])paintings (-5[1])inspired by the death of his teenage (10[1])sister, Sophie. This artist of (10[1])Ashes and Death in the Sickroom returned to a composition of a seaside boardwalk in the Anxiety entry of his The Frieze of Life. For 10 points, what Norwegian expressionist depicted a “blood (10[1])red” sky in The Scream? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Edvard Munch (“moonk”) (So Much Longing in So Little Space is by Karl Ove Knausgård, who also used The Sun as the cover image for Book 6 of My Struggle.)
