Monk entered Oslo Arts and Crafts School on 1880 and studied painting with C. Clough, influenced by impressionist painting style. 1889 changed to traditional painting and created the variant painting "Spring" of "Sick Child", thus winning a scholarship to study in France and studying under L Bona. In France, on the basis of studying Impressionism, he became interested in post-Impressionism and Nabi School. He found that lines and colors have powerful expressive force, and tried to draw living people with them. They are breathing, feeling, suffering and loving.

Under the influence of philosophy, aesthetics and ideological trend at that time, he tried to explore various conditions in the human mind and express themes such as disease, death, despair and love. Therefore, his creation has the title of "spiritual realism". During the period of 1892, the exhibition organized by the Berlin Artists Association in Germany was quickly closed due to the attack of conservative forces, but it had a great influence on young German painters and promoted the emergence of the expressionist movement.

Monk's early oil paintings Twins of Sick Children (1886), Bedside of Soul (1895) and Death of Mother (1899) are mostly memories of childhood and adolescence. St. Croix's 1890 oil painting night and Carl John's 1892 oil painting night marked the turning point of his style, showing his characteristics as an expressionist painter.

During the period of 1908, Monk went to a nursing home in Copenhagen, Denmark to recuperate because of schizophrenia, and returned to Norway to live in seclusion after recovering from his illness. The decorative painting design of the festival hall of Oslo University 19 10, 19 16 was completed. Among them, the mural "The Sun" is influenced by F.W. Nietzsche's "Man Mountain", which shows people's desire for light. However, in Nietzsche's works, only a few people have reached their goal by crossing the mountains piled up by the victims' bones, while Monk exaggerates the description of the sun with a positive attitude towards life, instead of being a symbol of Nietzsche's pessimism. 19 16 Monk was attracted by the beautiful nature near Oslo and the simple life of working people, and created a group of cheerful pictures. Among them, the works that show the working people are the oil paintings snow blower and Workers Go Home. Monk is a good friend of playwright Ibsen and French poet Malamei. Since the 1920s, he has been drawing illustrations for Ibsen's plays, but he has never finished them. Monk is a patriot. 1937, the Nazis declared that Monk's art was "degenerate" and "decadent", and the exhibition was prohibited. During the German occupation of Norway, he refused to cooperate with the Nazi regime and did not participate in the activities of artists' associations controlled by him. After Monk's death, all his works were unconditionally donated to Oslo according to his will. This huge legacy includes 1, 200 oil paintings, 4,500 sketches, 1, 800 prints, 6 sculptures and a large number of tools, notes and books.

The pessimism and negative factors contained in Munch's art are caused by his time. His achievement lies in revealing the hidden hearts of his contemporaries, and revealing the beauty, ugliness, pain and joy in people's hearts in his paintings. He gave full play to the expressive force of painting language and promoted the development of western painting in the direction of freehand brushwork and symbol. He enjoys a high reputation in Norway. 1963, the Monk Museum was established in Oslo, except for all his legacy works. 1983 10, Norwegian monk painting exhibition was exhibited in China Art Museum.
