Two Women on the Shore (Frauen am Meeresufer) c. 1910s

Edvard Munch's "Two Women on the Shore," created around the 1910s, is a woodcut print that depicts two figures on a beach. The women, one standing and one seated, are silhouetted against a dramatic sky. The standing woman, with her long flowing hair and white gown, is lit by the warm hues of the sunset while the seated figure is almost entirely in shadow. The use of bold colors and expressive lines is characteristic of Munch's style, which is often associated with the Symbolist and Expressionist movements. "Two Women on the Shore" is a poignant and evocative work that reflects Munch's interest in exploring themes of isolation, anxiety, and the human condition.
