This painting is a powerful expression of what went on in Munch’s life.
As an artist, I really admire his ability to show what he feels; his humanity.
This is the poem that Munch wrote about this piece:
I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature
