Woman’s Head against the Shore 1899

"Woman's Head against the Shore" is a woodcut by Edvard Munch, created in 1899. The print depicts a woman's head with dark hair and intense eyes, framed against a swirling, green landscape with hints of red. Munch, a key figure in Expressionism, was known for exploring themes of anxiety, death, and the human condition, all of which are apparent in this work. The print's stark lines and bold colours convey a sense of unease and psychological depth, characteristic of Munch's art.
