The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. It is
an oil painting and it shows a landscape. In the painting there is a man
screaming, who’s under a bridge. In the top of the image there are mountains,
in the center a river and a lake, and in the bottom there are the man and the
bridge. The man is shouting of anxiety, and he have the hands in the face.
This type of work is typical of
the expressionism style. The expressionism is a cultural movement started in
Germany in the XX century. The expressionism is not a copy of the reality, is a
way to express the reality. The expressionism use lots of colors, especially
the black.
The Scream is exhibited in The
National Gallery of Norway, in Oslo.
