Ghosts; Osvald 1920

"Ghosts; Osvald" is a 1920 lithograph by Edvard Munch, a Norwegian symbolist artist known for his haunting and emotionally charged works. This particular artwork features a figure, likely Osvald, in a darkened silhouette, suggesting a sense of isolation and anxiety. The figure is partially hidden in a chair, with a bright yellow back, further emphasizing the contrast between the figure and the surrounding space. Munch's use of bold lines and expressive colors, as seen in the red windowpane, conveys a sense of unease and introspection. This artwork is characteristic of Munch's exploration of themes of death, mental illness, and the human condition.
