The Yell Release from Deep Soul-The Scream Oil Painting

The Scream is one of the most impressive oil paintings on many art lovers’ mind. It is one of the most familiar figures in artworks of modernism style. The origination of this oil painting stemmed from a awful panic attack suffered by the artist in the year of 1892. Its painter, Edvard Munch once said, “The sun was setting and the clouds turned as red as blood. I sensed a scream passing through nature. I felt as though I could actually hear the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds like real blood. The colors shrieked.”
The artist of The Scream is Edvard Munch, who was a Norwegian painter and an essential forerunner of expressionism oil painting. His best known masterpiece is The Scream, which is from a series of The Frieze of Life, in which Munch explored the topics on love, fear, death, melancholia, and anxiety. The artist represented the scream through a series of undulating lines that pressed in on the figure like shock waves, reducing its face to a primal figure of utmost fear. Munch once wrote on a copy of this oil painting, “Could only have been painted by a madman.”
The Scream is an oil painting which indeed touches the weakest line deep in people’s soul. Nowadays almost everyone has his of her own misery, that is to say, we may find out some brand new significance from it.
