Product description
A single skeletal limb rests at the bottom of a pitch-black void, creating a stark memento mori beneath the haunting gaze of the artist. This monochrome composition utilizes heavy contrast and delicate line work to define the facial features of the painter emerging from the shadows.
About Edvard Munch
Munch painted love, anxiety, illness and death with swirling lines and charged colour. He was a pioneer of Expressionism and also made many woodcuts and lithographs. Groups such as Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter shaped Expressionism before the First World War. The original image dates from 1895. Expressionist artists used bold colour and distorted forms to convey feeling rather than appearance.
Styling this Edvard Munch print
This Edvard Munch print pairs a moody atmosphere with a black-and-white palette that is easy to build a room around. Choose 24×36″ to make “Self-Portrait with Skeleton Arm” the focal point of a study or living room, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. In black and white, “Self-Portrait with Skeleton Arm” works with any colour scheme; a black or antique-gold frame with a wide white mat gives it a gallery finish.
