Woman Seated on a Couch
1919
Edvard Munch, famous for his iconic screaming figure, takes a quieter but equally intense turn in this 1919 work. A woman sits with her back to us, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of bold, clashing colors and patterns that make the room feel almost dizzying. Painted after he survived the Spanish Flu and World War I, Munch's palette exploded with vibrant energy, turning a simple domestic moment into a vibrating emotional landscape. The thick, expressive brushstrokes suggest that even a quiet afternoon on a couch can pulse with life.
