Official reproduction of Edvard Munch's work Self-Portrait, (1895) from MUNCH's collection. 

Edvard Munch’s Self-Portrait (1895) stands as a striking exploration of identity, mortality, and the artist’s inner psyche. One of Munch’s earliest lithographs, this haunting composition depicts the artist’s floating head encased in a dense black void, framed by a skeletal arm below and his name and the year above. The overall effect is both eerie and meditative, evoking imagery of a tombstone or a spiritual relic like the Shroud of Turin.

The tension within the piece is palpable, conveyed through the asymmetrical features of Munch’s face and the stark contrast between light and shadow. The skeletal forearm is particularly striking, its detailed rendering suggesting a connection to anatomy and mortality, as though it symbolizes the artist’s own confrontation with death and the fragility of life.

Munch’s experimental approach is evident in the fine vertical lines scratched into the dark surface, creating a subtle grid-like texture that enhances the image’s emotional intensity. The artist later reflected on his constant revisions of his work, noting how each print offered new possibilities for interpretation.

 

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.
