Omega Weeping 1908 - 1909

Edvard Munch's "Omega Weeping" is a poignant lithograph depicting a young woman in a state of despair. Created between 1908 and 1909, the artwork exemplifies Munch's signature style of Expressionism, where raw emotion takes precedence over representational accuracy. The figure is rendered in a gestural, sketchy manner, emphasizing the subject's vulnerability and isolation. The title "Omega Weeping" suggests a sense of finality and sorrow, reflecting themes of mortality and existential angst that were central to Munch's work. "Omega Weeping" is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
