The Scream


Edvard Munch was a Norwegian Symbolist painter, printmaker and an important man of expressionistic art. His best-known composition, The Scream is part of a series The Frieze of Life, in which Munch explored the themes of life, love, fear, death, and melancholy. The first time I saw it was in the school. I was on Art class and we where studying the expressionistic art. I felt like all my pain and fears was on that painting. The red sky, a bloody sky, and the expression of the man on front that shows fear and angus. Maybe the picture is more like a reflection of the souls of the people who are looking at it. I don’t know how, but this painting of suffer gave me peace. I think that maybe the brushwork ate the fear that I have, and at that moment I felt peaceful. I think that you guys will have another thought about this, what do you think?
