Edvard Munch - Self-Portrait After Spanish InfluenzaIn this self-portrait, Munch sits in a wicker chair - like the one his sister died in. He faces outward, open-mouth, like the figure in his painting, The Scream. Yet ... Munch is alive, when so many other people - during the same time frame - died from Spanish Flu. Munch painted this work - Self-Portrait after Spanish Influenza - in 1919. It is currently maintained in Oslo, at the National Gallery.
