What is skriget?

Skriget, also known as "The Scream," is a painting created by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The painting depicts a figure, presumably a man, standing on a bridge, screaming in agony against a sunset sky. The figure's facial expression is that of terror and despair.

The painting has become one of the most famous works of art in the world, and its themes of anxiety, loneliness, and the dark side of the human psyche have resonated with many people. The painting has been interpreted in a variety of ways, with some seeing it as a representation of the existential crisis of modern life, while others see it as a meditation on the destructive power of human emotions.

Several versions of the painting exist, including a pastel on cardboard, a tempera on cardboard, and a lithograph. The most famous version is the tempera on cardboard, which is housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway. The painting has been the subject of numerous parodies, adaptations, and references in popular culture, cementing its status as an icon of modern art.
