Main article: The_Scream
Painted in 1893, The Scream is Munch's most famous work and one of the most recognizable paintings in all art. It has been widely interpreted as representing the universal anxiety of modern man.Answers.comPainted with broad bands of garish color and highly simplified forms, and employing a high viewpoint, the agonized figure is reduced to a garbed skull in the throes of an emotional crisis. With this painting, Munch met his stated goal of "the study of the soul, that is to say the study of my own self".Answers.comMunch wrote of how the painting came to be:
I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature.Answers.com
He later described the personal anguish behind the painting, "for several years I was almost mad…You know my picture, ''The Scream?'' I was stretched to the limit-nature was screaming in my blood… After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again."Answers.com
In summing up the painting's impact author Martha Tedeschi has stated:
Whistler's_Mother, Wood's American_Gothic, Leonardo da vinci's Mona_Lisaand Edvard Munch's The Scream have all achieved something that most paintings-regardless of their art historical importance, beauty, or monetary value-have not: they communicate a specific meaning almost immediately to almost every viewer. These few works have successfully made the transition from the elite realm of the museum visitor to the enormous venue of popular culture.Answers.com
