Answer 1

Answer:

The Scream, by Edvard Munch, represents expressionism.

Explanation:

The Scream, by Edvard Munch, represents expressionism. Edvard Munch was a Norwegian artist who belonged to the Expressionist art movement. Expressionism originated in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Expressionism intends to portray the world from a personal and subjective point of view, in order to provoke emotions. The world is represented distorted if needed, because the importance is not located in the literal representation but in the impact it generates. That's why The Scream has such a strength: it has very strong colors in the sky, and the person is portrayed in a way we can feel his anxiety and dispair.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be expressionism.
