<p><em>The Scream</em><span>&nbsp;</span>by&nbsp;Edvard Munch</p> <p>Soft Enamel Keychain<br>1.25"<br>8 colors<br>Backer card</p> <p><strong>About<span>&nbsp;</span><em>The Scream<br></em></strong>One of the most iconic images of western art,<span>&nbsp;</span><em>The Scream</em><span>&nbsp;</span>was created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The agonized face in the painting has become a symbol of anxiety of the human condition.</p> <p>There are four versions of this work (two in paint and two in pastels). The two painted versions have been stolen, only to be recovered later on.</p> <p>In his diary, Munch wrote:</p> <p>“One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjord—the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became&nbsp;<em>The Scream</em>.”</p> <p><strong>About Edvard Munch</strong><br>Edvard Munch (born December 12, 1863, Löten, Norway—died January 23, 1944, Ekely, near Oslo) was a Norwegian painter and&nbsp;printmaker&nbsp;whose intensely&nbsp;evocative&nbsp;treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late 19th-century&nbsp;Symbolism&nbsp;and greatly influenced German&nbsp;Expressionism&nbsp;in the early 20th century. His&nbsp;painting&nbsp;<em>The Scream</em><span>&nbsp;</span>(1893), can be seen as a symbol of modern spiritual anguish.</p>
