Edvard Munch

Untitled 15 by Edvard Munch

While we usually think of Edvard Munch as the guy who painted that famous screaming figure, he was also a prolific sketcher of everyday rural life. This loose watercolor captures a team of horses pulling a cart across a rugged landscape, using quick, energetic strokes of rust and blue to convey movement. It’s a rare, sun-drenched glimpse of a peaceful moment from an artist usually associated with existential dread, proving he could capture light and motion just as well as inner turmoil.
