On the Waves of Love 1896

Edvard Munch’s "On the Waves of Love" from 1896, is a striking lithograph showcasing the artist's signature style of expressionism. Depicting a woman's face with flowing hair and body, reminiscent of a mythical siren, she appears to be adrift in a sea of waves, symbolized by the dynamic lines etched into the surface of the print. This work exemplifies Munch's exploration of emotions and the anxieties of human existence. The artwork's composition and the woman's ethereal presence create a sense of vulnerability and melancholic beauty, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
