The Dead Lovers 1991

"The Dead Lovers," a 1991 etching by Edvard Munch, depicts a stark and haunting scene of a man and woman lying lifeless in bed. The artist's signature use of bold black lines and heavy shadows creates a sense of emotional intensity and alienation, characteristic of his Expressionist style. The artwork's focus on themes of death and despair reflects Munch's personal struggles and anxieties, which he often explored in his art.
