Munch – Reclining Nude with Raised Legs | Expressionist Oil

Munch strips the female form to raw emotional essence in this late-career nude, where agitated brushwork and earthy pigments convey vulnerability rather than idealization. The raised legs create diagonal tension against horizontal repose, a compositional device reflecting his ongoing exploration of human anxiety and bodily exposure.
