Two Women on the Shore 1898

Edvard Munch's woodcut "Two Women on the Shore" (1898) depicts two figures silhouetted against a dark blue seascape. The woman on the right is clothed in a white dress, while the woman on the left is shrouded in a dark cloak. The composition is characterized by simplified forms and bold colors, typical of Munch's style, which often explored themes of anxiety and isolation. This print is part of a series of works known as the "Frieze of Life," reflecting Munch's fascination with human emotion and the complexities of existence. The work is held in The Art Institute of Chicago.
