Who urged Edvard Munch to create'soul paintings', beginning his distinctive style?

Paul Gauguin
Vincent Van Gogh
Hans Jaeger
Claude Monet

Answer

The Norwegian painter Hans Jaeger urged Edvard Munch to create "soul paintings", beginning his distinctive style. Jaeger was an early admirer of Munch's work, and he encouraged the young artist to explore his own emotions and experiences in his paintings. Munch's early work, such as The Scream and The Dance of Life, is characterized by its expressionistic style and its exploration of the darker side of human nature.
