Kiss IV 1902

"Kiss IV" (1902) is a woodcut by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Known for his depictions of intense emotions, Munch's work often explores themes of love, death, and anxiety. This print, a variation on his famous "The Kiss" series, portrays two figures locked in an embrace, their forms merging into a unified silhouette. The simple composition and bold lines, combined with the grainy texture of the woodblock, create a sense of intimacy and isolation, characteristic of Munch's style. The work is currently housed in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway.
