Anxiety
1896
Step into Edvard Munch's world of existential dread, where the sky itself seems to scream. This stark black-and-white print reuses the famous wavy landscape from 'The Scream,' but instead of a lone figure, we see a crowd of ghostly faces staring out in shared panic. The central figure in the top hat looks particularly haunted, surrounded by others who seem trapped in a collective nightmare along the Oslo fjord. Munch was obsessed with capturing the 'sickness' of modern life, and this piece perfectly visualizes that vibrating, nervous energy we all feel sometimes. It’s like a snapshot of a panic attack from 1896!
