The main body of the painting is an extremely painful expression on a blood-red background. In Monk's eyes at that time, Oslo Fjord was full of trembling and blood-red hallucinations, which made people feel scared and even disgusting. In the painting "Scream", although the colors used by Monk are consistent with the authenticity of natural colors, the way of expression is extremely exaggerated, showing his own feelings. The twisted lines in the painting are in sharp contrast to the thick and straight bridge, and Monk shows the feeling of boredom, anxiety and loneliness in the picture to the extreme. Scream is Expressionism painting's masterpiece.

The fourth edition is in the Monk Museum. Creative background: 65438+90' s was the era when new European thoughts prevailed, and it was also the most brilliant period of Munch's creation. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the conception and creation of the "life" group painting. At this time, his works are full of philosophy and sense of the times, and his artistic thoughts tend to mature. The fragility of life, the decline of family, loneliness, panic and despair have long plagued Monk's heart. He has suffered a lot that others can't feel, and he wants to shout. The location in the painting "Scream" is Oslo Fjord overlooking Ekberg Mountain. One night, Monk and two friends were walking on the sidewalk by the sea. One side of the road is the city, and the other side is the fjord. Tired and ill, the author stopped to look at the fjord. At sunset, the clouds were dyed blood red. The monk stopped on the railing, exhausted and indescribable. Friends walked on, he fell behind, and he felt a shrill scream resounding through the world; The author seems to hear screams. Monk stopped there, trembling with anxiety. Such horror and despair finally broke out into a lonely and terrible cry of life. The painting entitled "Scream" in art appreciation works eulogizes the theme of "life, love and death", and reveals the anxiety and fear of human beings at the end of the century through symbols and metaphors. In this painting, there is no specific object suggesting the horror that caused the scream. The image in the center of the picture is creepy. He seems to walk past people and turn to the railing that stretches out into the distance. Covering his ears, he could hardly hear the footsteps of two pedestrians in the distance, nor could he see two ships and church steeples in the distance; Otherwise, the whole loneliness wrapped tightly around him may be slightly relieved. This lonely man, completely isolated from reality, seems to have been completely conquered by his deep fear. This image is highly exaggerated, and the deformed and twisted screaming face is completely comic. Those big eyes and sunken cheeks are reminiscent of bones related to death. This is a ghost call. Monk presents extreme loneliness and despair to people artistically, vividly and harmoniously. "The sky is like a bloody fire, shocking and terrible." It seems that the whole sky is bleeding and burning, staring at the sky with tears. This painting successfully expresses Monk's own experience and the pains and tribulations he suffered in his life, so that his hostility to the times and his struggle against the mismatch between his inner weakness and the rational and scientific orientation of modern society express his despair and relief. The characters in this work have a special sustenance and show a specific psychological and thinking state, so the characters created by the author are not the original appearance of reality. "Monks describe a state full of emotional connotation and vitality in reality." In order to achieve this goal, Monk tried his best to conceive, analyze and deliberate, and pursue the performance characteristics of his works. It is "through creation" that Monk opens his claustrophobic and frozen emotional channel, unconsciously reveals his inner feelings and gives vent to the huge spiritual energy deposited in his heart. From the overall analysis of painting, Monk turned from concrete and true description to overall, subjective and emotional grasp, and described life, death, love and suffering from his own perspective. The center of this work is the inner emotion, the call of the soul, the cry of life, the mark of the soul and the tenacious struggle between life and reality. The artistic feature "Scream" is often regarded as the first Expressionism painting of Monk, and also the initial embodiment of the concept of "soul" written by Monk. The performance of painting depends more on the feeling when creating. The composition of strong colors such as red, yellow, blue and green, and the rough and twisted lines with different weights, weights and thicknesses are shocking, and the picture presents a high degree of perspective techniques. The shouting figure trembled, his face was pale and yellow, and his frightened eyes revealed all kinds of loss and confusion. Blood-red background, turbulent and rapidly changing lines, can not be taken from reality, it comes from Monk's lonely and fearful life experience. This work transcends the senses and expresses the deepest things. Just like the painter's firm ideal. In this painting, the colors used by Monk are related to nature to some extent. Although blue water, brown land, green trees and red sky are all exaggerated and expressive, they have not lost the general authenticity of their colors. The color of the whole painting is depressing: the thick blood red hangs on the horizon, giving people an ominous premonition. It conflicts with the purple in the darkness of the sea; This purple is getting darker and darker because it extends far away. The same purple, repeated in lonely clothes. His hands and head are pale, poor brown-gray. There is no place in the painting that is not full of turbulence. The twisted curve of the sky and the current is in sharp contrast with the thick and straight diagonal form of the bridge. The whole composition is full of rough and strong rhythm in the dynamic rotation. All the formal elements seem to convey that shrill scream. Here, the author uses visual symbols to convey the feeling of hearing and turn the miserable scream into visible vibration. This expressive technique of visualizing sound waves. Here, Monk transforms the extreme inner anxiety caused by screaming into a convincing abstract image. In this way, he almost pushed his emotional expression on the screen to the extreme. Martha Tedeschi, a famous critic and writer, said: "The Scream can convey its meaning to the audience with a flick of a finger, so that people from celebrities to ordinary people can feel the same." In the painting "Scream" influenced by later generations, the face afraid of deformation and the color of strong collision have always been regarded as the symbol of modern people's depressed spirit, and this work has become a classic "expression" in the 20th century. Monk's paintings opened the curtain of European expressionist art. It influenced artists including Matisse and Picasso.
