Summary of "The Scream" by Edvard Munch




The Scream is a famous painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1893. It shows a person screaming on a bridge, with a dramatic red sky and a distorted landscape. The painting expresses strong emotions like fear, anxiety, and despair.


Munch was inspired by a real moment when he felt overwhelmed by sadness and heard "a scream through nature." He used bold colors and swirling lines to show what he felt inside, not just what he saw.


The Scream is part of the Expressionist movement, where artists focus on emotions and inner feelings. It became a powerful symbol of human anxiety and is still known around the world today.
