The Scream (Edvard Munch)

"The Scream," created by Edvard Munch in 1893, is a famous expressionist painting that conveys deep emotional distress. It features a figure standing on a bridge, clutching its head in anguish against a tumultuous, swirling sky. The artwork symbolizes feelings of anxiety, existential dread, and the struggle of the human condition. Munch painted several versions, using bold colors and dramatic lines to evoke a sense of unease. "The Scream" has become an icon of modern art, often interpreted as a reflection of the artist's own psychological turmoil and the broader anxieties of society during that era.
