1929
Edvard Munch, the master behind The Scream, offers a surprisingly quiet, ghostly moment here from 1929. A lone figure in a blue jacket sits hunched, looking tiny against a backdrop of faint, skeletal lines that suggest a building under construction. It feels less like a finished portrait and more like a fleeting memory of a worker taking a break. Munch was fascinated by labor and isolation in his later years, stripping away details to leave just the essence of the scene—a hallmark of his Symbolist roots.
