Men Turning towards the Sun 1911 - 1914

"Men Turning towards the Sun" (1911-1914) is an expressive painting by Edvard Munch that showcases his signature style of Symbolism and Expressionism. The artwork depicts two figures, likely men, diving into the water, with one figure appearing in a strong green hue and the other a soft, pale white. The figures are painted with fluid lines, highlighting the motion and energy of the dive, against a background of swirling, abstracted brushstrokes that evoke the water and sky. Munch's use of color and form is powerful and suggestive, capturing the raw emotion and the human connection to nature in this poignant and evocative artwork.
