The Storm, Right Part
1926-27
Edvard Munch was obsessed with this windswept beach scene, revisiting his famous 'Storm' motif late in life around 1926. The canvas is dominated by a towering, almost abstract cliff face that seems to lean over a group of pale, nude figures huddled against the elements. The central standing figure stretches out as if bracing against the wind, while others sit or lie on the sand, their forms blending into the turbulent blues and greens of the landscape. It's a raw, emotional take on nature's power typical of the Symbolist movement, proving that even decades after his iconic 1893 version, Munch was still grappling with intense human feelings and the forces of the natural world.
