Edvard Munch, the legendary Norwegian painter and printmaker, is a towering figure in the world of modern art, best known for his thought-provoking masterpiece, "The Scream." His ability to capture the complexities of human emotion is epitomized in his exploration of the relationship between men and women, as seen in his iconic work, "Two Human Beings (The Lonely Ones)," created between 1906 and 1908.This intriguing painting is featured prominently in the current Munch exhibition at Harvard Art Museums, where visitors can delve into Munch's 40-year obsession with the motif, depicting two figures standing on a shoreline—physically close yet emotionally distanced.
