I love this painting because it really reflects a part of my personality that I usually don't show cause I like to be in control of my acts and I hate to let my feelings take control over me.
Munch shows in a very simple but deep way how that person in this painting was feeling at that particular moment; even though my situation is not exactly the same I can really relate to it cause sometimes all I want is to SCREAM and I feel trapped by an explosion only that mine doesn't come from a volcano but from my very own thoughts, feelings and this crowd that is talking to me all at the same time and I hear nothing but whispers, they all want something from me and I try to please them but I just can't cause there's too many of them asking for something different all at once.
I wish that they could just let me be and let me live my OWN Life on MY OWN WAY!!!
Here's a lil info about the painting: Scream (Skrik, 1893) is a seminal series of expressionist paintings by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. It is said by some to symbolize the human species taken by an attack of existential angst, with the skyline inspired by the red twilights seen after the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.[1] 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.
