Self-Portrait with Brushes 1904

Edvard Munch's "Self-Portrait with Brushes" (1904) portrays the artist in a formal pose, holding paintbrushes in his hands. The artwork, currently housed in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, showcases Munch's characteristic style, with bold brushstrokes and a heightened sense of emotional intensity. The artist's self-assured gaze and the presence of his artistic tools emphasize his identity as a painter and his dedication to his craft. This self-portrait exemplifies the Expressionist movement, where subjective emotions and individual expression take precedence over objective representation.
