The Girl and the Heart 1987

Edvard Munch's "The Girl and the Heart" (1987) is a striking lithograph depicting a nude woman seated in a field of flowers. The woman, drawn with strong lines and a sense of emotional depth, holds a heart in her outstretched hand. Munch's signature use of black and white creates a sense of drama and melancholy, characteristic of his exploration of themes of love, life, and death. The image is often interpreted as a representation of the fragility of love and the pain of loss. The artist's exploration of human emotion through stark imagery places the artwork firmly in the realm of Expressionism.
