The Scream

The Scream by Edvard Munch is an iconic image which created a mass appeal. Their are many explanations behind his work, what he was influenced by and his motives. One may suggest that the scream is their to show his inner feelings and emotions because of his tough childhood. This view from the road overlooking Oslo is where experts have determined to be the location of "The Scream." This is around where his sister was based as she was admitted to a mental hospital. We could use this image to just show a particular element of an emotion, or a mask as it is well known now for its scream mask and the horror films it is based in. I also love the use of the red sky and the coloured background, this has been the particular element which has been used in remakes.
