The story behind the motif
Poster with a painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch from 1916.
The painting depicts a man working in a vegetable field, carrying turnips in his hands. Munch captures an everyday scene that depicts human labor in nature, while the physical labor can be seen as a metaphor for the struggle of life and the challenges we face.
Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was a Norwegian artist and one of the most influential figures in modern art. He is best known for his dramatic paintings that reflect anxiety, death, loneliness, and human existence. His work had a profound impact on both Symbolism and Expressionism, and his works continue to be both beloved and debated around the world.
