The Scream
The artist

The story
Munch made this famous picture in 1893 after a walk at sunset, when the sky turned a glowing orange.
The style
He used wavy, flowing lines and bold colors so the whole picture seems to move like the feeling itself.
Look closer
See how the swirling orange and blue sky curves in the same wavy shape as the figure below.

A famous version is kept at the National Museum in Oslo, the capital of Norway.
Fun fact
