EDVARD MUNCH - THE SCREAM
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC EXPRESSIONISM PAINTINGS. CALLED 'THE SCREAM' THIS PAINTING LOOKS AT MENTAL HEALTH AND INNER DARK FEELINGS MOST OTHER ARTISTS IGNORE. THE FIGURE IS PAINTED IN A WAVE LIKE MOTION THIS EXPRESSES THE SCREAM AND INNER TORMENT OF A HUMAN. THE FACE IS PAINTED LIKE ITS ACTUALLY SCREAMING AS IF YOU CAN HEAR IT. I LOVE THE BRIGHT COLOURS USED IN THE SKY AND HOW IT CONTRASTS WITH THE DARK BLUES, BLACK AND GREY COLOURS USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE LANDSCAPE THE WORLD AROUND THE FIGURE. THE ANGLE USE OF CREATING, WHAT SEEMS TO BE A PIER GIVES THE PAINTING A SENSE OF MOVEMENT AND ENERGY. THE TWO FIGURES IN THE BLACK HELP CREATE DISTANCE IN THIS PAINTING.
