Official reproduction of Edvard Munch's work Self-Portrait in Front of the House Wall, (1926) from MUNCH's collection.
Self-Portrait in Front of the House Wall (1926) presents Edvard Munch in a strikingly personal and confident light. Painted at his home in Ekely, the portrait shows Munch standing outdoors, bathed in sunlight, against the backdrop of his yellow Swiss-style villa. Dressed casually in a simple jacket and undershirt, his face is turned slightly to the side, squinting under the bright sun. The determined expression, emphasized by a clenched jaw and uplifted chin, conveys a sense of self-assurance and introspection.
The painting incorporates symbolic elements tied to Munch’s identity as an artist. A vibrant sunflower in the corner recalls themes from earlier works, such as Bleeding Man and Sunflower, symbolizing vitality and creative energy. The vivid, complementary colors—blue, green, and ochre balanced against red—enhance the intensity of the composition, while the loose brushstrokes infuse the piece with dynamic energy.
This work was created during a period of reflection and retrospection for Munch, as he revisited earlier motifs and prepared for major retrospective exhibitions. It captures him at a pivotal moment in his career, presenting himself as both a confident and contemplative artist, deeply connected to his surroundings.
Printed on museum-quality, FSC-certified paper (210 g/m²), this fine art print retains the depth and vibrancy of Munch’s original creation. Available in multiple sizes, it is perfect for creating a contemplative and artistic atmosphere in any space.
