Self portrait of Edvard Munch, 1902




Munch, Self Portrait, 1902

This is Munch. It’s a self-portrait that dates back to 1902.
He projects an image of himself as an artist of a tortured soul and an outsider.
Munch made several versions of this self-portrait and with each, he gradually blackened out his body to be left with this final version of just his head.

The portrait can be found at the Courtauld Gallery at Somerset house.
Admission for entry is £6.00 to visit all the exhibitions.
The nearest tube station is Temple.

Trust me, you won’t regret taking a visit there!
