Woman Standing in the Doorway by Edvard Munch, 1906-07

Edvard Munch, famous for *The Scream*, shows a different side here with a burst of wild color. A woman stands in a doorway, her pale dress glowing against a dark blue wall, while the window beside her explodes with fiery reds and greens. It feels less like a realistic room and more like a fever dream or a stage set—fitting, since Munch was designing theater sets around this time. The loose, scratchy brushstrokes make the whole scene vibrate with energy, proving he was a master of mood long before Expressionism was cool.
