Description
Edvard Munch, one of the most prominent exponents of the symbolism and precursor of expressionism, conducted his work "Construction of the Winter Study. EKELY" in 1929, a period that marks a period of reflection in the life of the artist, who was immersed in The search to create a space that would allow you to express your inner vision and connection with nature.
The painting offers us a view of the construction study, a building of straight and angular lines that emerges in a landscape of subtle tones. The structure, although unfinished, is presented as a tangible symbol of the creative process, a starting point towards a space where ideas can flourish. Munch apparently chooses a composition that emphasizes the relationship between man and his surroundings, where architecture enrolls in a natural landscape characterized by trees that seem to dance in the air, referring to life that emanates from nature in the face of the hardness of the hardness of the human construction
The palette of this work is remarkably controlled and serene. The greens and the brown predominate, who evoke a sense of calm and connection with the natural environment that surrounds Ekely, the place in Norway where Munch established his home and study. These earthly colors are contrasted with the white of the snow and the gray of the exposed woods of the construction, creating a dialogue between the warm and the cold, life and death, a constant duality in Munch's work.
Although the work lacks human figures, Munch uses its architectural environment to explore deep emotions and moods. The study, as a character in itself, reflects the artist's loneliness, his search for introspection and creation as a lone act. However, a sense of hope implicit in the work is manifested, a desire to be part of nature in its unbeatable and continuous transformation.
Munch, through "construction of the winter study", invites the viewer to meditate on the interaction between physical space and the artistic process. The work not only represents a fact in time and space, but also transcends a reflection on the act of creating, where each stroke of painting becomes a declaration of existence and personal search. In this context, Munch manages to encapsulate his constant concerns about life, death and the sense of being, turning his study into a refuge for creativity and authenticity.
This work can be considered in the context of other works by Munch, where nature and introspection are merged, as in "the sick girl" or "the cry", where landscapes and personal emotions are intertwined. "Construction of the winter study" is erected as a testimony of the deep attachment of Munch to its surroundings, reflecting its desire to explore not only its own existence, but also the impact it has on the world that surrounds it. In summary, this work stands as a milestone in the production of Munch, reflecting its evolution as an artist and its commitment to the search for inner truth through art.
