"The Tiger and the Bear" is a 1908-1909 lithograph by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. The work depicts a bear and a tiger facing each other in a clearing, framed by a background of trees. The scene evokes a sense of tension and anticipation, reflecting Munch's interest in exploring themes of anxiety and the primal nature of human existence. The lithograph is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, and it exemplifies Munch's masterful use of line and shading to create a powerful and evocative image.
