Symbolist painter Edvard Munch has said that The Scream represented the "infinite scream of nature." In an interview with Sue Prideaux, Munch recalled a time when he was on the verge of madness, and, as he walked with friends, the sun set in a sky that was nearly blood red. Exhausted, he felt an overwhelming anxiety. He said, "You know my picture, The Scream? I was stretched to the limit - nature was screaming in my blood... After that I gave up hope of ever being able to love again." Munch, born on December 12, 1863, created several versions of the painting, which were part of a series of works he called The Frieze of Life - A Poem About Life, Love and Death.
