Edvard Munch

The Dance of Life

US$ 654.00

Couples turn on a midsummer shore under a low moon, with a woman in white on one side and a woman in black on the other — youth and age flanking the dance. The colours are hot and heavy, and nobody in the picture looks happy. Munch called the moon’s reflection a pillar; it runs through his work like a signature.

Artist

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) lost his mother and sister to tuberculosis in childhood and spent his career painting anxiety, desire and mortality as though they were weather. This canvas belongs to the Frieze of Life, the cycle he worked on for decades and which also produced The Scream. He said he painted not what he saw but what he had seen.
