Geniuses in Sun Rays
1914-16
Edvard Munch, famous for his screaming faces, took a wild turn with this vibrant, swirling composition. Painted around 1914-1916, it features ghostly, colorful figures—some green, some yellow—dancing or floating near a massive, pale blue sun. The loose, almost childlike brushstrokes show Munch experimenting with abstraction and symbolism, moving away from his darker, more realistic earlier works. It's a fascinating glimpse into how the artist who gave us existential dread also explored pure, radiant energy and light, proving he wasn't just about the angst!
