| Description |  |
Representing the Norvegian lakeshore where Munch spent many summers, this moody, evocative composition blends a contemplative approach to landscape with a distinctly modern awareness of forms and color. Thinly applied layers of luminous color on the coarsely textured canvas draw attention to the artist's technique, Munch employs the simple, rhythmic forms of the curving shoreline, the rounded clump of trees, and the plunging diagonal of the white fence to create an image that is simultaneously representational and abstract.
