Half-Length Portrait of a Man (Brustbild eines bartlosen Mannes) 1913

Edvard Munch's 1913 lithograph "Half-Length Portrait of a Man (Brustbild eines bartlosen Mannes)" is a powerful example of the artist's expressive style. The stark lines and heavy shadows used in the image create a sense of anxiety and unease, typical of Munch's work. The subject's gaze is intense and seemingly directed at the viewer, creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The use of dark lines in the background adds to the feeling of isolation and uncertainty that is present in the portrait. Munch's distinct style and the subject's emotive features, combined with the artist's signature, make this an easily recognizable piece.
