| The Scream (1893) |
"I was walking along a path with two friends, the sun was setting. I felt a breath of melancholy. Suddenly the sky turned blood-red. I stopped and leant against the railing, deathly tired, looking out across flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the deep blue fjord and town. My friends walked on. I stood there trembling with anxiety and felt a great, infinite scream pass through nature."
Norwegian Painter
1863 - 1944

| Edvard Munch 1921 |
Edvard Munch was inspired to paint The Scream by what he felt. He later said: "For several years I was almost mad. . . You know my picture, The Scream? I was stretched to the limit — nature was screaming in my blood. . . After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again."
What drives you to paint? What inspires you to write? Is it light or darkness? Fear or compassion? Beauty or pain? What message do you want to communicate? What is your vision of the world? Does your creative work come from deep within your soul? Do you paint what you feel? Do you write what you experience?
