About the piece

Created in 1899, 'Red and White' is a profound example of Edvard Munch's emotive style. The work uses contrasting figures to explore themes of identity and isolation, framed by the sweeping curves of the shoreline and the vertical rhythm of dark trees. Munch’s signature brushwork and bold use of color create a powerful, atmospheric presence that commands attention.
