The Scream (band) Members
''The Scream'' is a composition created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The Norwegian name of the piece is (Scream), and the German title under which it was first exhibited is ' (The Scream of Nature). The agonized face in the painting has become one of the most iconic images of art, seen as symbolizing the anxiety of the human condition. Munch's work, including ''The Scream'', had a formative influence on the Expressionist movement. Munch recalled that he had been out for a walk at sunset when suddenly the setting sun's light turned the clouds " a blood red". He sensed an "infinite scream passing through nature". Scholars have located the spot to a fjord overlooking Oslo and have suggested other 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 lunatic asylum. Munch created two versions in paint and two in pastels, as well as a lithograph stone fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
