EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunbathing I, 16x13.3 cm, is a captivating woodcut print created by the renowned Norwegian Expressionist artist, Edvard Munch, in the year 1915. This stunning piece is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive collection and is a testament to the artistic movement that defined the early 20th century. Munch's masterful use of color and composition is evident in this evocative work. The print is woodcut printed from two blocks in pink, orange, red, yellow, yellowish green, blue, and brown ink on heavyweight cream wove paper. The sunbather, a solitary female figure, is depicted lying recline on a green grassy bank, her nude body basking in the warm embrace of the sun. The use of bold, vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes conveys a sense of energy and vitality, while the woman's contemplative expression adds an air of introspection. The setting is idyllic, yet the overall mood is one of melancholy and introspection, characteristic of Munch's Expressionist style. The artist's innovative technique, which involved printing from multiple blocks to create a rich, layered effect, adds depth and texture to the image. Sunbathing I is a beautiful example of Munch's ability to capture the complexities of human emotion and the natural world. The print invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and fragility of life, while also exploring themes of isolation and the passage of time. This work is a must-see for any art enthusiast and a valuable addition to the Art Institute of Chicago's impressive collection.
