Edvard Munch's style, i simply love .
i like how everything just flows in his pictures bringing to it a
hallucinating,liquid feeling.
My favourite and a popular one is The Scream.
On looking at it for a long time one feels that
deep loneliness which lies within.
Rich, poor, believer ,non believer,questioner,
teacher,student,party butterfly,cooped up pigeon,
clown,king,neta,beggar,man,woman,in a crowd,alone,aloof,
CEO,auto Ottunar,Whistler, artiste,grocer,parent,
everyone is alone.
In a page in his diary headed Nice 22.01.1892, Munch described his inspiration for the image thus:
“ | I was walking along a path with two friends—the sun was setting—suddenly the sky turned blood red—I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence—there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city—my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature." Even without a TV, sometimes with all views,opinions,discussions the Scream seems to pierce in shriller than ever. |

Very well put! We just discussed The Scream in class a few days back. Nicely articulated. The loneliness, the mysterious expressionism et al. Btw, that picture isn't The Scream right?
