Angst
1896
Edvard Munch created this haunting print, 'Angst' (Anxiety), in 1896 as a companion to his world-famous 'The Scream.' Instead of a lone screaming figure, a crowd of pale, wide-eyed people stares out at us, trapped beneath a sky of undulating, blood-red waves. The black-and-white figures look like ghosts floating in a sea of existential dread, capturing the universal panic Munch felt while walking along the fjord. It's a masterclass in Symbolism, proving that nature itself can mirror our deepest inner turmoil. Think of it as the 19th-century equivalent of a panic attack captured on paper!
