1910, Edvard Munch, The Murderer -- Munch Museum (Oslo)
From the museum label: A mysterious person is almost on his way out of the painting, heading straight towards the viewer. His hands are crudely painted using just a few strokes. The signal-green of the face makes the murderer appear to be wearing a mask.
