The Old Fisherman 1984

Edvard Munch's 1984 woodcut "The Old Fisherman" depicts a weathered face, rendered in stark black and white. The lines are bold and angular, echoing the harshness of a life at sea. The fisherman's eyes are deep-set and shadowed, while his mouth is set in a firm line, hinting at a life of hardship and resilience. Characteristic of Munch's style, the artwork embodies themes of isolation and existential angst, exploring the human condition through a poignant portrayal of an individual weathered by time.
