The Scream(Norwegian: Skrik)
Edvard Munch, 1893
Oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard
91 × 73.5 cm
National Gallery, Oslo
Actually, this is not ALL I have done on my vacation, just the most recent in memory. Yesterday, after a trip to the National Holocaust Museum (excellent, more later), and the National Bureau of Engraving and Printing (aka. the money factory), I unfortunately was struck with a horrible migraine. Matt and Ron rescued me to a Virginia area urgent care, hours later we were sent to a hopsital ER, where, finally, they gave me something to interrupt it's progress. I HONESTLY believe that Edvard Munch MUST have been a migraneur himself, because that is the only thing AWFUL enough to have inspired such a work. I'm just sayin...
