Forest, 1903 / 20" x 24" / Unframed rolled in tube

1903, like so many years, was one of crisis in the life of Edvard Munch. In the months prior, he had been called to the side of a lover under threat of suicide and found himself missing two joints from his ring finger after a possibly self-inflicted gunshot wound. The lover left him and he escaped to Germany, where he would work on comissioned portraits of the children of a wealthy patron and admirer. He also painted several landscapes around this time, of which this is one. Despite their brightness, the yellows seem sickly and the sky is a ghastly purple-white. From foreground to background, we see trees begin branchless, become full, and return again to a barren state. Munch balances ambiguous sweeps of color with divisory geometric lines and planes to create a rich and intriguing interpretation of the landscape. Our artist has taken care to recreate the values of this painting's palette and composition so that this troubled Norwegian's master works can be made available to art lovers everywhere.
