An Old Man c. 1902

Edvard Munch's "An Old Man" (c. 1902) is a striking portrait showcasing the artist's signature Expressionist style. The subject, an elderly man in a dark hat, is depicted against a vibrant yellow background, emphasizing his solitude and introspection. Munch's bold brushstrokes and vivid colors create a sense of emotional intensity, reflecting his fascination with the anxieties of modern life. The painting's dramatic composition and melancholic mood evoke a sense of existential unease, making it a powerful testament to the artist's ability to capture the raw emotions of the human condition.
