Official custom print of Edvard Munch's work Anxiety, (1894) from MUNCH's collection.
Created in 1894, Anxiety is a key piece in Edvard Munch’s Frieze of Life series, which explores themes of love, death, and existential dread. This striking oil on canvas painting serves as a continuation of the emotions expressed in The Scream, blending its dramatic sky and haunting figures with elements from other works in the series, such as Evening on Karl Johan.
In Anxiety, a faceless crowd confronts the viewer, their mask-like expressions evoking a sense of unease and detachment. The tension is amplified by the dissonant hues of the sunset sky, which mirror the inner turmoil of the figures. Munch’s layered brushstrokes and opaque application of paint emphasize the raw emotional weight of the scene, drawing attention to the interplay between individual isolation and communal distress.
The painting reflects Munch’s innovative approach to art during this period, fusing traditional techniques with anti-traditional experimentation. Through its haunting imagery and emotional intensity, Anxiety captures the universal experience of unease in the face of anonymity and human separation.
