The Scream by Edvard Munch (Full Explanation)

The Scream by Edvard Munch (Full Explanation)

The Scream by Edvard Munch was a picture he painted to represent his soul.

Munch explained that he painted a moment of existential crisis. He was walking down a road similar to the one in the painting, while the sun was setting, creating a beautiful, vibrant background. His friends were walking with him, but, looking out at the sky in front of them, he stopped, while they continued walking. He then described having what we would now consider a panic attack; he suddenly became tired, anxious, claustrophobic, and the weight of nature and the world hit him all at once.

So, what caused such an enormous reaction in Munch’s mind that day?

What caused such an enormous reaction in Munch’s mind when he created The Scream?

[groogruxking]

The scream isn't about the man screaming, he is covering his ears and yelling to block out the world because the world is screaming at him.

If you need 8 minutes to explain something you clearly don't fully understand the thing
