"Self Portrait (Against Two-Colored Background)" is a notable artwork by the influential Norwegian Expressionist painter Edvard Munch, created in 1914-1915. This painting is part of a series of self-portraits that Munch produced throughout his life, which serve as a profound personal narrative and a window into the artist's psychological state. In this particular work, Munch depicts himself in a half-length format against a stark, dichromatic backdrop that emphasizes the emotional intensity and introspection characteristic of his art.

The portrait showcases Munch's distinctive style, marked by bold brushwork, a muted palette, and a focus on the conveyance of inner turmoil and existential angst. The two-colored background in this painting is particularly significant, as it may symbolize the duality of the human condition, the contrast between life and death, or the emotional dichotomies Munch experienced. The composition's simplicity and the direct gaze of the artist create an immediate and confrontational engagement with the viewer, inviting an intimate examination of the self.

As with many of Munch's works, "Self Portrait (Against Two-Colored Background)" reflects the themes of illness, melancholy, and mortality that pervaded his oeuvre. These motifs are underscored by the personal struggles Munch faced, including the loss of his mother and sister at a young age, as well as his own bouts with mental illness and physical ailment.

The painting is a testament to Munch's pioneering role in the development of Expressionism, a movement that sought to express the inner emotional experience rather than external reality. "Self Portrait (Against Two-Colored Background)" remains an important piece within Munch's body of work and continues to be studied for its psychological depth and its contribution to the evolution of modern art. The artwork is held in the collection of the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, which houses the largest collection of Munch's works and serves as a central repository for research on his life and art.
