Title: Anxiety
Artist: Edvard Munch
Date: 1894
Medium: Oil on canvas
About the Painting:
"Anxiety" is a profound painting by Edvard Munch that immerses viewers in a sense of widespread unease.
Much like "The Scream," it features a dramatic, fiery sky and a winding fjord, but here the focus shifts to a group of figures.
Their faces are pale and mask-like, reflecting collective despair and alienation.
They appear to drift aimlessly forward, their expressions conveying a deep sense of psychological distress rather than individual emotion.
This amplifies the feeling of a shared burden of modern life's anxieties.
The dark, almost oppressive clothing of the figures contrasts sharply with the vivid, turbulent sky, which mirrors their inner turmoil.
"Anxiety" is a key part of Munch's "Frieze of Life" series, exploring universal themes of fear, existential dread, and the human condition in a modern, industrialized world.
