It's a beautiful work of art in general. I love the vibrant colors especially. The painting in general is a little disturbing, but that's the whole point of the composition. In his diary Munch even wrote,
"I sensed a shriek passing through nature...I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood."
The whole purpose of the painting is to depict horror, blood, and anguish and I think it did one heck of a job. What gets me most about it is the two figures in the back walking down the boardwalk. They are presented as if nothing is out of the ordinary, even though the man in front is screaming. He's covering his ears, his face looks terrified, and his whole body is writhing. It's like he is the only one feeling pain, and no one else can see it.
The painting kind of makes me feel trapt; like I could scream at the top of my lungs and it wouldn't make a difference because no one could hear me and I am all alone. I am more of a fan of pleasant paintings, but nevertheless this piece of art is amazing. It's one of those paintings where you don't really have to know anything about art for it to evoke an emotion in you.
(I learned about this painting from the textbook, Living With Art by Mark Getlein)
Art is really amazing and interesting if you give it a chance, and make an attempt to learn about it. I never thought it would interest me until I started taking an art appreciation class in college. :)
Anyways, hope I helped!
