About this work

This image shows a person standing on a bridge, screaming with their mouth wide open. Behind them, a wavy sky and calm water stretch out, with two small boats in the distance. The lines are sharp and uneven, giving everything a tense, almost shaky feel. The word "Geschrei" (German for "scream") is written below the image, and there’s a short phrase in German at the bottom. The artist signed it "Edv. Munch 1896," though the work was made in 1895. Want to learn more about how this was made? Try looking up lithography.
