Self-Portrait with Striped Pullover 1944

Edvard Munch's "Self-Portrait with Striped Pullover" is a poignant and expressive oil painting created in 1944, the year of his death. The painting, located at the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, features the artist in a close-up portrait with a melancholic expression, his face pale and wrinkled, reflecting the weariness of his final years. Behind him, a shadowy figure emerges, adding a sense of mystery and introspection. Munch's signature use of bold colors, particularly the vibrant yellow and green hues, contributes to the dramatic and emotional impact of the work. This self-portrait is a powerful testament to the artist's life and the enduring influence of his artistic vision.
