The Scream by Edvard Munch is one of the most recognizable paintings
in the world. Munch created four versions of them. The image has its source in
Munch’s experience. As the artist walked across a bridge with friends at
sunset, he was seized with despair and “felt a great infinite scream pass
through nature.” The Scream is the artist’s best known work and most widely
reproduced image. It has become a symbol of modern anxiety and alienation. These
are the kinds of work that a lot people can relate to. I personally love it. There’s
not a lot works that bring so much emotions to viewer.
Here is one of the other versions of The Scream:
