The story behind the motif
Poster with a painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch from 1895.
The painting represents a self-portrait of Edvard Munch, where he holds a cigarette in one hand, the smoke of which sweeps through the painting. With a serious facial expression, he conveys a sense of reflection and seriousness. This painting reflects the existential themes that pervade Munch's other works, such as anxiety, loneliness and the human inner struggle.
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 major impact on both Symbolism and Expressionism, and his work continues to be both loved and debated around the world.
