Associated Names
Edvard Munch

Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

This is a drawing of an abstract depiction featuring figures in a landscape. The drawing uses loose and expressive black ink lines to create a composition that includes an abstract form resembling a figure lying horizontally across a textured ground. The background has fluid lines that suggest a landscape or sky, with curved and angular strokes hinting at movement or energy. The style appears spontaneous, with a focus on capturing motion and emotion rather than realistic detail. The overall feeling of the piece is dynamic, with an emphasis on the expressive potential of line work.
