Since this month is the arts festival, i chanced upon many different kind of art pieces around the places i go.
One particular art piece attracted me deeply.
That is this one im about to show

below.
Well familar with it? For those of you who do not know this, this piece of art is called " The Scream" a rather popular art piece from 1893.
The Scream is a seminal series of experissonist paintings by a Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Regarded by many as his most important work, it is said by some to symbolize modern man taken by an attack of existential angst, with the skyline inspired by the red twilights seen after the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.
The landscape in the background is Oslofjord, viewed from the hill of Ekeberg. The Norwegian word skrik is usually translated as "scream", but is cognate with the English shriek. Occasionally, the painting has been called The Cry.
There is a tempera on cardboard version formerly in the Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway and an oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard in the National Gallery (shown to right), also in Oslo.
A third version is also owned by the Munch Museum, and a fourth is owned by Petter Olsen. Munch later also translated the picture into a lithograph so the image could be reproduced in reviews all over the world. Since 1994, two separate versions of The Scream have been stolen by art thieves, but both were eventually recovered.
Well hope this post will make you understand a bit more about this piece ^^ till then cya!
