Edvard Munch and the Sea
The landscapes in Edvard Munch's work have long been understood to reflect his psychological and emotional states, a correlation that remained consistent even as his style changed over the course of his career. One frequently recurring motif in Munch's life and art is the sea, both coastal settings and the many fjords carved in the Norwegian landscape.
