EDITORS COMMENTS
Jealousy I," a captivating lithograph by the renowned Norwegian Expressionist artist, Edvard Munch, created in 1896 but printed after 1906, is a powerful exploration of the destructive emotions of jealousy and envy. This print, featuring a trio of figures in various stages of separation and introspection, is a testament to Munch's mastery of the Symbolist and Expressionist artistic movements. The central figure, a man with a thick moustache and intense, staring eyes, is consumed by the darkness of his own jealous thoughts. His face is contorted in anguish, his brow furrowed, and his lips pursed in a tight line. To his left, another man, with a similar moustache and a more subdued expression, looks on with a mixture of concern and sympathy. The third figure, a woman, is hidden in the shadows, her face obscured, representing the mysterious and elusive object of desire and envy. The use of lithography, a printing technique that involves drawing on a limestone plate with a greasy crayon or ink, lends itself perfectly to the dramatic contrasts and expressive brushstrokes of this piece. The print is executed in black on ivory Japanese paper, adding to its ethereal and otherworldly quality. "Jealousy I" is a poignant reminder of the destructive power of envy and the emotional turmoil it can cause. It is a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire, and a testament to Munch's enduring legacy as a pioneer of modern art. This print is part of the vast and diverse collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a world-renowned art museum and cultural institution located in the heart of the city. The museum's collection spans centuries and continents, showcasing the artistic heritage of humanity and providing a platform for the exploration and appreciation of the arts.
