Christen Sandberg 1909

Edvard Munch's "Christen Sandberg" is a striking portrait of the Norwegian author, painted in 1909. The work, currently housed at the Munch Museum in Oslo, is notable for its expressive use of color and brushstrokes, characteristic of Munch's style. The figure of Sandberg is depicted standing in a simple interior, with a prominent use of earthy tones and the bold, expressive lines that defined Munch's artistic vision. The painting showcases Munch's mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects, imbuing them with a sense of psychological depth that transcends simple portraiture.
