Head of an Old Man with Beard 1902

Edvard Munch's 1902 woodcut "Head of an Old Man with Beard" showcases the artist's signature expressionist style. The stark black and white figure of the old man, set against a vibrant red background, evokes a sense of raw emotion and existential angst. The simplified forms and bold lines, typical of Munch's work, emphasize the subject's weathered features and the passage of time, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer. This piece is a testament to Munch's ability to convey complex human emotions through his distinctive artistic language.
