The Storm; Right Middle Part
1926-27
Edvard Munch brings his signature psychological intensity to this towering vertical canvas, splitting the scene between a turbulent seascape and a nightmarish foreground. Up top, a strange orange arch looms over green waters, while below, a massive, fleshy form with a gaping red maw dominates the space, accompanied by a ghostly, wide-eyed figure. Painted late in his life, this piece shows how Munch's early Symbolist roots evolved into raw, almost abstract expressions of inner turmoil. It’s a wild, visceral ride that proves the creator of The Scream never lost his touch for visualizing human anxiety!
