Landscape
1940-1943
Edvard Munch, famous for 'The Scream', created this tranquil scene near the very end of his life in the early 1940s. Far from the angst of his earlier work, this landscape feels almost meditative, with horizontal bands of orange and green suggesting a field or water reflecting light. Munch was a pioneer in printmaking, often carving directly into wood blocks to capture raw emotion. Here, the rough texture and abstract forms show an artist finding peace in nature's rhythms during his final years.
