Set Design for Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts 1906

This is a set design by Edvard Munch for Henrik Ibsen's play Ghosts, created in 1906. Munch is best known for his expressionist works that explore themes of anxiety, death and isolation. Though the painting depicts a scene from the play Ghosts, it's a highly abstract and gestural work with a shadowy figure and strong brushstrokes, reflecting Munch's signature style.
