Det syke øyet. Optiske illusjoner 1930

Edvard Munch made this watercolor, "The Sick Eye: Optical Illusions," with washes of blues, pinks, and browns that bleed into each other. It’s a reminder that art isn’t just about perfect representation, but about the messy, imperfect process of seeing and feeling. Look at the way the colors swirl and blend, especially in the bottom right eye. The watery paint creates a sense of depth and movement, like the eye is not just an object, but a swirling vortex of emotion. It’s as if Munch is inviting us to dive into the physicality of the medium. Munch's raw, expressive style reminds me of other artists like Francis Bacon, who also weren't afraid to confront the darker aspects of human experience. Art is always a conversation across time, and Munch's work continues to speak to us today, reminding us that ambiguity and multiple interpretations are not weaknesses, but strengths.
