EDITORS COMMENTS
The Day After, 1894" is a poignant and evocative drypoint and open bite print by the renowned Norwegian Expressionist artist, Edvard Munch. This powerful work of art depicts a solitary figure, a woman, lying in a disheveled bedroom in the aftermath of a night of heavy drinking. The image, with its stark contrasts and dramatic lighting, captures the essence of the morning after, a time of reflection and reckoning. The woman's clothing, crumpled and disarrayed, lies on the floor next to the bed. A wine bottle and empty glasses are visible on the table, evidence of the previous night's indulgence. The furniture in the room appears worn and outdated, adding to the sense of decay and despair. The woman herself is unconscious, her face contorted in a peaceful slumber, oblivious to the chaos around her. This print is a prime example of Munch's Expressionist style, with its emphasis on emotion and the inner workings of the human psyche. The use of drypoint and open bite techniques adds texture and depth to the image, bringing the scene to life and making the viewer feel as if they are peering into a private moment of someone's life. Created in 1894, this print is a testament to the artistic movements of the 19th century, and is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a powerful reminder of the consequences of alcohol consumption, and the vulnerability and fragility of the human condition.
