the scream curiosities

The Scream, made in 1893, was one of his most important works. The idea for this work is slowly emerging. In 1892 he notes:i was walking down the street with two friends when the sun went down. Suddenly, the sky turned blood red and I felt a shudder of sadness. A gut-wrenching pain in my chest. I stopped; I leaned against the railing, deathly fatigued. Tongues of fire like blood covered the black and blue fjord and the city. My friends kept walking and I just stood there, shaking with fear. And I heard an endless scream go through nature.

Thanks!
