"The Starry Night" is actually a famous painting by Vincent van Gogh, not Edvard Munch. Van Gogh created this artwork primarily for aesthetic purposes, as it expresses his emotional response to the night sky and reflects his unique style and technique. While it holds historical significance as an important work in the post-impressionist movement, its primary intention was to convey feeling and beauty rather than serve a utilitarian or entertainment purpose.
Edvard Munch, on the other hand, is known for works like "The Scream," which also communicates deep emotional content. If you are referring to Munch's work, please clarify, and I can provide specific insights on that!
