Landscape with Tree Trunk 1922 - 1924

Edvard Munch's "Landscape with Tree Trunk" is a small-scale drawing executed in purple crayon on paper between 1922 and 1924. It depicts a landscape scene with a large tree trunk dominating the foreground. The background is a blurred, undulating landscape suggestive of a distant horizon. The trees and the trunk are rendered with loose, expressive strokes, characteristic of Munch's expressive style, which is influenced by Symbolism and Expressionism. This sketch likely captured a fleeting moment of nature observed by the artist, highlighting the raw, emotional power of the natural world.
