MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Edvard Munch, famous for four versions of “The Scream,” was a prolific Norwegian painter and printmaker. Award-winning art history education Janet Mandel will look at his fascinating and unconventional life — he was damaged by alcoholism, hallucinations, social isolation and paranoia — as well as his psychologically evocative paintings in a South Orange-Maplewood Adult School lecture on Tuesday, Nov. 21, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Room D16 at Columbia High School. According to Mandel, Munch’s need to explore situations brimming with emotional content and expressive energy characterizes all of his astonishing work.
