Horses Ploughing
1929
Edvard Munch, famous for his screaming faces, takes a break from existential dread to show us some serious farm work in this vibrant 1929 piece. A massive white horse and a smaller dark companion pull a plow through swirling furrows of orange, purple, and blue, guided by a lone farmer. The ground looks like it's moving, with thick, energetic brushstrokes that make the whole scene feel alive and almost dizzying. It's a great example of how Munch could turn even a simple day of plowing into an emotional, swirling landscape.
