An angst-filled soul, cringing beneath a blood-red sunset, in Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” has undoubtedly become an iconic fixture in today’s cultural psyche.The figure’s haunting face, tormented by nature’s deafening scream, has been endlessly caricatured and parodied both in art and on screen.But what’s less known about “The Scream” is that Munch (1863-1944) produced several different “originals” during his lifetime — two paintings in tempera and two drawings in pastel, as well as four dozen black-and-white lithographs, at least two of which he hand-colored himself in 1895.

As a young boy, he endured the loss of both his mother and sister to tuberculosis. He battled depression and anxiety for decades and saw his other sister committed to a mental institution. Only in his later years, as he withdrew into a relatively reclusive existence, did he slowly begin to recover from inner anguish and 카지노사이트킹 alcoholism.
