EDITORS COMMENTS
The Day After," created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1894, is a poignant and thought-provoking drypoint and open bite etching in black ink on lightweight ivory wove paper laid down on heavyweight off white wove paper chine colle. This powerful artwork is a testament to the aftermath of a night of heavy drinking and the subsequent feelings of regret and despair that often follow such indulgences. The image depicts a solitary figure, a woman, lying in bed in a dimly lit bedroom. Her clothes, disheveled and rumpled, are scattered on the floor, indicating a recent and passionate encounter. The room is sparsely furnished, with only a few pieces of simple, rustic furniture visible. The woman's expression is one of deep sadness and introspection, her eyes closed as if she is lost in thought or dreaming of better days. This print is a prime example of Munch's expressionist style, which sought to capture the emotional and psychological states of his subjects. The use of black and white, or b&w, adds to the somber and introspective mood of the piece, while the contrast between the lightweight and heavyweight papers creates a textured and layered effect. The Day After is a powerful and evocative work that speaks to the universal human experience of the morning after, when the consequences of the previous night's indulgences become all too clear. It is a striking reminder of the impact that our choices can have on our emotions and well-being, and a testament to Munch's ability to capture the complexities of the human condition through his art. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and is a must-see for fans of Munch and the expressionist movement. It is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
