The Scream was painted in 1893 by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, who's known for depicting "violence, fear and sheer horror." This work is said to "reflect the fear and horror some intellectuals experinced at the end of the nineteenth century."
Portrait of Edvard Munch
Edvard was one of the many artists who practiced neo-romanticism to investigate and communicate society's inner struggles through the emotions art can convey.
The Sick Child
The Sick Child was the first "soul painting" Edvard ever drew and it was in honor of his sister, Sophie, who died of tuberculosis when she turned 15 years old in 1907. This traumatic recreation of a mother comforting her dying daughter helped the artist to develop his skills in brushwork and vivid colors.
Stary Night
Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting meant to recreate what Edvard Munch saw and felt during his summers on the Ohioan beach resort Åsgårdstrand. The color blue was used to convey the landscape's mysticism and melancholy and the lighter hues with dark green to covey the sky as a "celestial phenomenon."
Anxiety
Painted one year after Starry Night in 1894, Anxiety acts a thematic sequel to The Scream as it depicts collective despair instead of isolated despair. Many aspects of Munch's Scream Painting return into this one, which includes the same reddish orange sky the gloomy hues, and background visuals like the church, the lake, and the two boats.
The Girls On The Bridge
The Girls On The Bridge is one of Mulch's more lighter and harmonious paintings as it depicts three girls looking over a bridge on a bright afternoon in Aasgaardstrand. It is one of his most memorable, since he spent 30 years making many renovations and edits to it.
The Yellow Log
Mulch's most mysterious painting yet, 1912's The Yellow Log depicts three Yellow Logs that were cut down from a forest of red trees. The Yellow Log's most prominent components is an exaggerated perspective meant to create an impression movement and the ability to test three dimensional effects in the eyes of anyone who decides to change how they see the painting, whether be by the side or a sideways glance.
Horse Team
One of Edvard's last paintings, 1919's Horse Team is a masterfully brushed art piece focusing on a rancher tending to his Ying and Yang-esque Horses. In contrast to his usual works, Horse Team is "mellow yet energetic" with a heightened sense of harmony between man and animal as they tend to their agriculture.
