The House
1902
Edvard Munch, the master behind the famous screaming face, takes a breather here with a moody view of a solitary house, created in 1902 during his Symbolist phase. The print uses scratchy, energetic lines to draw your eye along a curving path straight to the front door, making the bare trees look like skeletal fingers reaching out. Munch was obsessed with capturing feelings rather than just reality, and even in this simple landscape, you can sense his signature psychological tension. The grainy texture suggests he worked directly on a stone, a technique he loved for its raw expressiveness.
