Portrait of Ernest Thiel 1907

Edvard Munch's 1907 "Portrait of Ernest Thiel" is a striking example of the artist's expressive style. The work depicts Thiel, a prominent art collector, in a standing pose, his figure rendered with bold, gestural brushstrokes. The background features a loose, abstract composition, with vibrant colors suggesting an atmosphere of movement and energy. Munch's distinct use of color, line, and form exemplifies his exploration of emotional intensity and psychological states, characteristic of his Expressionist art.
