Separation
Edvard Munch · 1896
Why it's great
A man stands at a seashore while a woman with long hair seems to melt away, with her hair flowing in the wind. Edvard Munch painted about the pain of parting. The colors of sea and sky are quiet, but the mood is sad. It's one of his emotional pictures of love and loss.

Edvard Munch was born in Norway and grew up in Christiania (now Oslo), in a family troubled by illness and loss. He traveled in Europe, especially Germany and France, and used paint to express anxiety, love and loneliness. His most famous work, 'The Scream', is among the best-known images ever. He spent his last decades at his estate Ekely near Oslo and died in 1944.
