Horse and Cart in the Street
Ca 1920
Most people know Edvard Munch for his screaming faces, but here he captures a quiet, everyday street scene with a loose, dreamy touch. Created around 1920, this sketch shows a horse-drawn cart navigating a road, flanked by shadowy figures on the left. The washes of pale blue and reddish-brown give it a fleeting, almost ghostly atmosphere. It proves that the master of psychological anxiety could also paint moments of peaceful, everyday life with incredible spontaneity, offering a rare glimpse into his calmer moments.
