Munch – Ghosts: Osvald | Expressionist Theater Scene 1920

Munch’s interpretation of Osvald from Ibsen’s play ‘Ghosts’ captures hereditary doom through fractured form and sickly palette. The figure’s dissolution into brushwork mirrors the character’s mental deterioration from inherited syphilis—a theme of generational trauma Munch explored repeatedly.
