  • Explore Edvard Munch’s masterpiece “The Scream,” and find out why this artwork became one of the world’s most famous paintings.
    --
    An undulating sky melds into the landscape, two silhouettes move along a balustraded walkway, and a ghostly figure’s features extend in agony. Since Norwegian artist Edvard Munch created "The Scream" in 1893, it’s become one of the world’s most famous artworks. But why has its cry traveled so far and endured so long? Noah Charney shares the inspiration behind the dramatic and haunting masterpiece.

    Munch’s personal description of the scream during his walk with friends was so oddly comforting to me when I first heard it….I have General Anxiety Disorder and I have experienced moments like that often. Knowing a widely regarded and famous painter also understood this unexpected inexplicable fear is just……it’s nice to know you’re not alone!!!!!!

    I remember when I was in 2nd year high school, we had a project in our art class where we were to choose one famous artwork and paint it in a white t-shirt. That time, I chose this one, The Scream. I remember that I have made it quite well.
    Then the painted t-shirts made by us students were placed (hanged) in one of our school's hallways as an exhibit. They were exhibited for quite some time. I can still remember - whenever I saw my project, I was happy and proud of it.
    That time, The Scream was the most interesting one for me. I found it bizarre that whenever I look at it, I get an eerie, sinister yet curious feeling at the same time.

    As a little kid I saw a snippet of PBS show on The Scream that my Grandmother was watching. The painting horrified me, and I couldn’t tell you why. Maybe it was that gaunt, ghost like face, or maybe that the figure was looking at you the whole time. Whatever the reason, I refused to look at anything having to do with The Scream till I was in High school. I’m happy I got a chance here to learn a little about the picture, and understand the history of the anxiety that inspired it and haunted my childhood.

    It could well be a reaction to hearing or even feeling a scream within one’s energy field. All of the thoughts we generate send energy out. To say nothing of millennia energy and ripples of it from actions . Then through bombs, guns grenades of more recent centuries bouncing energy around in our vacuum. It is a wonder anyone sensitive to energy can rest at all.
