The Girls on the Bridge (At the Bridge) - Edvard Munch - Figurative Canvas Wall Art suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a portrait oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of an entryway gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.
1902
Oil on canvas
39.8 x 40.4 inches
One of the most anticipated works that will be offered in the upcoming Impressionist & Modern Art Evening auction is undoubtedly Edvard Munch’s The Girls on the Bridge, a 1902 canvas that captures all of the hallmarks of the Norwegian master’s genius – bold colour, sharp perspective, sinuous line, and of course existential angst. It is difficult to overestimate Munch’s impact on the artistic developments of the 20th century. Indeed his hand can be seen in Expressionism, Fauvism and even Pop art.
Girls on a Bridge, one of Munch's most widely popular and acclaimed motifs, was painted during one of the most turbulent periods of his life. The image of a cluster of young women, huddled in a secretive mass between two points of land, resonates with explosive tension. Like van Gogh and Gauguin before him and the Expressionists after him, Munch often uses color not for naturalistic description but to convey authenticity of feeling. Understanding the world as a place of agitation and stress, Munch makes that vision literal; the emotional states that concern Munch are often disruptive – anxiety, jealousy – but he also knows quieter moods, like melancholy and loneliness.
As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other expressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
We use a 100% hand-painted process: stretched artist-grade canvas, layered oil pigment, and a final protective varnish. There are no inkjet prints or mechanical reproductions in this collection — just a painted figurative artwork made to order.
Build an entryway gallery wall around this portrait oil painting, or let it stand alone as a single statement. The hand painted canvas finish keeps the figurative composition looking intentional in both classic and contemporary rooms.
