Self-Portrait
1895
Edvard Munch floats like a pale ghost in a sea of heavy, scratchy black ink in this intense 1895 self-portrait. Created during the same turbulent decade he produced *The Scream*, the image captures the artist’s signature anxiety, with his wide-eyed stare trapped against a background that looks like falling rain or prison bars. The artist's name and date are scrawled at the top like a label on a specimen jar, framing his haunted expression. It is a raw, psychological snapshot that strips away all color to focus purely on the man behind the masterpiece.
