Attraction I
1995
Edvard Munch brings his signature psychological intensity to this stark, black-and-white scene where two skeletal figures lean in close. Set against a brooding Norwegian fjord and a massive, shadowy rock, the image perfectly captures the Symbolist obsession with the dark side of romance. Munch often explored how love and death are inextricably linked, and here, the lovers look more like ghosts haunting the shoreline than living beings. It’s a haunting reminder that in Munch’s world, attraction is as dangerous as it is magnetic.
