The painting by Edvard Munch named 'The Scream' has become one of the most famous in mainstream media. The unusual colors and concept of the painting draw attention, and the painting itself makes you think. Imagination is something that can run wild with this painting.
The Scream was originally painted by Munch based on an experience he had; a scream pierced through nature while on a walk, after his two companions, seen in the background, had left him. Edvard painted 'The Scream' as a result, conveying his probable fear and shock. The painting sets a somber yet creepy tone with its combination of oranges, blues, and browns. The brush strokes that Munch used were swirled and rough, creating an amazing painting that leaves so much to the imagination. Admirers of art praise this masterpiece for its tangible eerie vibe. The red and orange sky suggests that this painting takes place at sunrise or sunset, and in the background is a beach with swirling waters, giving off a savage look.
Although Edvard Munch created one of the most popular painting of the modern era, he was aware of the danger of an art of this sort for a neurotic artist like himself. He soon abandoned the style and rarely, if ever again, subjected a figure to this kind of radical and systematic distortion. The abstractness yet clarity in this painting is what makes it so special, inspiring many other works of art, songs, and even movies. Munch was far ahead of his time, and his spirit still lives on today, always remembered by the people of the world.
