'The Scream' by Edvard Munch

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses 'The Scream' which was conceived by Edvard Munch while he was journeying across a bridge with friends. The painter discussed that he was suddenly stricken with a sky that was red as though blood and a reality that horrified him even though it was for an instant Munch wanted to tell of his horror of the moment in the painting and painted a figure that has been said to be representative of the soul rather than the physical being. According to the paper, Munch's use of medium was different than any other painter of his time, as was his theme of reality in life that had not previously been exposed on canvas. Prior to the time the contemporaries of Munch expressed stories of the world around them, but not their innermost feelings of anguish.
