Delivery from 4 weeks
"The Scream" is an iconic painting by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch, created in several versions between 1893 and 1910. The artwork depicts a genderless figure with an agonized expression, hands clasped to its face, set against a landscape with a swirling, vibrant orange sky. Two figures are visible in the background on a bridge or walkway.
This masterpiece is a prime example of Expressionism, emphasizing inner turmoil over realistic representation. Munch was inspired by a personal experience where he felt overwhelmed by nature, sensing a "scream" passing through it. The painting is often interpreted as a representation of modern existential anxiety and dread.
"The Scream" has had an enormous cultural impact, becoming one of the most reproduced and parodied artworks in popular culture. Its significance in the art world is reflected in its value; one version sold for nearly $120 million in 2012. Different versions are housed in various museums, including the National Gallery and Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway. The painting's enduring power lies in its ability to visually capture universal human emotions, making it a timeless symbol of anxiety in the modern world.
