10481 Edvard Munch (1863–1944) – Moonlight (Måneskinn) – Color Woodcut (20th Century)
This atmospheric color woodcut, titled Moonlight (Måneskinn), presents a solitary female figure standing in front of a house at night. The composition is defined by the stark silhouette of the building and the glowing white rectangle of a window, which contrasts sharply with the deep blue tones of the evening. A prominent column of moonlight reflects vertically in the water or on the ground, creating a bright streak that cuts through the dark, expressive textures of the woodblock. The woman's face is rendered as a pale, simplified oval, blending into the surrounding shadows and evoking the sense of loneliness and mystery frequent in Munch's nocturnal coastal scenes.
Edvard Munch was a pioneering Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intensely evocative treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late 19th-century Symbolism and greatly influenced German Expressionism. Best known for The Scream, Munch's career spanned over six decades, during which he explored themes of life, love, fear, and death. He was a master of graphic arts, utilizing woodcut and lithography to revisit and refine his major motifs, often using the natural grain of the wood to enhance the emotional atmosphere of his prints. His work is recognized for its technical innovation and its profound influence on the development of modern art.
