Dr. Max Linde
1902
Edvard Munch, the master behind 'The Scream,' traded his usual existential dread for a striking portrait of his friend and patron, Dr. Max Linde. Created in 1902, this sketch captures the German physician and art collector with intense, searching eyes and a wonderfully expressive mustache. Munch uses quick, energetic strokes that make Linde look like he's about to speak, revealing the artist's incredible ability to convey personality with just a few lines on paper. Linde was actually one of Munch's biggest supporters, even writing one of the first books about the artist's work!
