Head by Head 1905

"Head by Head" (1905) is a woodcut print by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, known for his expressive and often psychologically charged works. The print depicts two heads, one in green and the other in red, which overlap and appear to merge together. Munch's signature use of bold lines and contrasting colors creates a sense of tension and unease, reflecting his exploration of themes of anxiety, isolation, and the human condition. The woodcut's fragmented and stylized forms are characteristic of his work, which helped shape the development of Expressionism, a movement that emphasized emotional expression over objective representation.
