10480 Edvard Munch (1863–1944) – The Girls on the Bridge (Pikene på broen) – Color Woodcut (20th Century)
This evocative color woodcut, titled The Girls on the Bridge, depicts three young women standing together at the railing of a pier, gazing into the dark, reflective water below. The scene is set in the Norwegian coastal town of Åsgårdstrand, featuring a massive, rounded clump of linden trees on the right bank and a white house behind a fence in the background. Distinctive vertical striations cut through the image, highlighting the texture of the woodblock and creating a rhythmic, atmospheric effect across the night sky and water. The composition contrasts the bright, solid forms of the figures with the deep, swirling blues and greens of the landscape, capturing the mood of melancholy and transition that characterizes Munch's work.
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 lithography, woodcut, and etching to revisit and refine his major motifs, often experimenting with color and texture to heighten the emotional impact of his work. His prints are renowned for their technical innovation and their ability to convey complex human emotions through simplified forms and expressive lines.
