History
1910
Edvard Munch created this vibrant sketch as a study for a massive mural titled 'History' at the University of Oslo. Beneath the twisting branches of a giant blue tree, a wise, bearded elder sits sharing ancient stories with two attentive youths, symbolizing the passing of knowledge through generations. The loose, energetic brushstrokes and ghostly blue tones give the scene a dreamlike quality, revealing how the famous artist behind 'The Scream' planned his grand public works. It’s a fascinating glimpse into his creative process, showing that even monumental ideas start with simple, expressive drawings.
