People and Sun
Ca. 1915
Edvard Munch, famous for his screaming faces, takes a surprisingly breezy turn in this vibrant 1915 sketch. Loose, energetic strokes of blue, green, and red dance across the page, outlining two figures basking under a radiant, fragmented sun. It feels like a quick, joyful capture of a summer day, showing a much lighter side of the brooding Norwegian master. This piece is actually a study for his massive murals at the University of Oslo, proving that even the artist of existential dread had a sunny side!
