Project #2: Edward Munch "The Scream"
Expressionism is the personal representation of the artists’ perspective on life with emphasis on emotions and often depicted with expressive lines and simple representational images. Expressionism is an art history movement founded in Germany in the early 20th century.
Expressionism was developed in Germany in the early 20th century prior to World War One. The movement spread form the visual arts to literature and was even seen in drama. During this period new ideas in philosophy and psychology were in fashion, which fueled the trend towards visual representation of individual angst.
Reality is distorted to express the artist’s emotional perspective. Images often appear childlike or simple with bright colors and expressive lines. Expressionist artists were influenced by African art and the works of Van Gogh. Edvard Much’s “The Scream” was also a major influence for early expressionists. It is considered to have inspired the movement.

“The Scream” is the nickname for a series of similar works done by Edvard Munch between 1893 and 1910 most done in pastel and a few are black and white lithographs. The image represents a moment in time, captured during an evening walk. Munch had the overwhelming sensory feeling of nature screaming out in agony on that walk. The impression was due to the modern destruction of nature through industrialization. Munch explored this image of nature’s agony in many pictorial variations.
