Harpy 1991

Edvard Munch's "Harpy" from 1991 portrays a harrowing scene of a skeletal figure lying lifeless on the ground, as a bird-like creature with sharp claws hovers above. The drawing, done in black and white, captures the intense emotions of fear and death, characteristic of Munch's artistic style, known as Expressionism. The use of heavy lines and dramatic contrasts creates a sense of unease and foreboding, highlighting the artist's fascination with the darker aspects of human existence. This drawing, like many of Munch's works, explores the anxieties and vulnerabilities of the human psyche.
