Omega's Flight 1908 - 1909

Edvard Munch's "Omega's Flight," created between 1908 and 1909, is a charcoal drawing that showcases the artist's signature expressive style. The composition depicts a solitary figure seated on a rocky shore, gazing out at a distant sun and a pair of figures in the water. The figure's posture and the overall mood of the drawing evoke a sense of isolation and melancholia, reflecting themes often explored in Munch's work. This drawing, now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into Munch's artistic explorations of the human condition, particularly the complexities of emotions and the search for meaning in the face of vastness.
