"August Strindberg" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by renowned Norwegian expressionist artist Edvard Munch, completed in 2. The subject of the painting is Swedish playwright, novelist, and painter, August Strindberg, whom Munch profoundly admired. Strindberg, an important figure in the development of modernism in theatre, significantly influenced Munch's work.

In creating this painting, Munch broke away from his more traditional, symbolist seen in earlier works, employing instead the nascent expressionist style. Two primary aspects delineate this departure. Firstly, the use of thick brushstrokes and the stark contrast between dark and light areas achieve a raw, emotional intensity. Secondly, the relatively unidealized presentation of the subject captures Strindberg's anxiety and internal turmoil, reflecting Munch's and expressionism's emphasis on psychological introspection.

Munch's portrait of Strindberg is notable for its striking psychological insight more than a physical likeness, capturing a complex interplay of moods. The dramatic use of color, particularly the red and dark hues, underlines a sense of chaos, anxiety, and inner tension. The texture of the painting also reveals Munch's innovative style, with its prominent brushstrokes suggesting a sense of agitation and unrest.

Yet, the portrait comprehends more than just Strindberg's psychological landscape. It reflects Munch's perception of the man and their mutual struggle with anxiety and mental health issues. Therefore, it plays an essential role in understanding the development of both Strindberg's literature and Munch's pioneering art. The painting, now housed in the Thiel Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden, continues to be a significant work in the study of expressionist art.
