About the Artwork:
"The Brooch (Eva Mudocci)" is a compelling portrait of the celebrated English violinist, Eva Mudocci (Eugenia Muddock), a striking figure with whom Edvard Munch shared a deep, non-romantic friendship.
Munch was captivated by her enigmatic beauty and used her as a subject in several of his works.
This lithograph is a powerful example of Munch's Expressionist intensity, using the stark contrast of black and white to heighten the emotional and visual drama.
The subject is defined by her incredible mass of dark, flowing hair, which cascades around her and contrasts sharply with her pale, pensive face.
The prominent brooch she wears, a circular design resembling a clock or watch, is often interpreted as a symbol of the transience of time, beauty, and life itself—a recurring theme in Munch's art.
The work is celebrated for its hypnotic intensity and its masterful use of the lithographic medium, making it one of Munch's most famous and emotionally engaging prints.
