Self-Portrait in Moonlight 1904 - 1906

Edvard Munch's "Self-Portrait in Moonlight" (1904-1906) is a powerful woodcut that exemplifies the artist's signature style of Expressionism. The stark, simplified lines and the blue-tinged, almost ethereal background create a sense of isolation and psychological depth. Munch's self-portrait captures a moment of introspection, the artist's own anxieties and emotions made visible in the melancholic lines of the figure and the suggestive, almost dreamlike quality of the composition. The print's stark, dramatic style captures the loneliness and melancholy of the artist's inner world, echoing the themes of anxiety and isolation that characterize Munch's most famous work, "The Scream."
