Scream

Inspired by Edvard Munch's The Scream (see photo)
The Scream is the popular name given to a composition created by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The agonized face has become one of the most iconic images of art, seen as symbolizing the anxiety of modern man.

Munch recalled that he had been out for a walk at sunset when he suddenly sensed an ‘infinite scream passing through nature’. Scholars have located the spot to a fjord overlooking Oslo, and have suggested various explanations for the unnaturally orange sky, ranging from the effects of a volcanic eruption to a psychological reaction by Munch to his sister’s commitment at a nearby asylum.

Munch created four versions in paint and pastels, as well as a lithograph stone from which several prints survive. Both of the painted versions have been stolen, but since recovered. One of the pastel versions commanded the fourth highest nominal price paid for a painting at auction. (Wikipedia)
