Head by Head is a 1905 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
In this painting, two people are shown from the shoulders up, their faces close together. The person on the left has dark hair and is wearing a white shirt, while the person on the right has long dark hair. The background is a mix of blue and green colors. The two figures are depicted in a way that suggests intimacy, with their faces close together. The use of warm colors in the figures' skin tones contrasts with the cooler tones of the background, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors adds to the emotional intensity of the scene. The painting is reminiscent of the work of other artists who explored themes of intimacy and human connection. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
