Self-Portrait in the Garden, Ekely 1942

Edvard Munch’s 1942 painting “Self-Portrait in the Garden, Ekely” depicts the artist standing in the garden of his home, Ekely, near Oslo, Norway. The painting is a poignant self-portrait, capturing Munch's introspective nature and the themes of isolation and anxiety that characterized his work. The landscape, with its muted colors and sparse vegetation, creates a sense of solitude, reflecting the artist's inner turmoil. It is a powerful example of Munch's Expressionist style, characterized by strong brushstrokes and a focus on emotion. The painting is part of the Munch Museum's permanent collection in Oslo.
