Description

With the theme of eulogizing "life, love and death", Edvard Munch's "Cry" reveals the worries and fears of human beings at the end of the century "by means of symbols and metaphors.
 
The performance of painting depends on the feeling of creation, with strong colors of red, yellow, blue, and green combined with bold and distorted lines of light and weight, order, and length and thickness. The use of these lines is impressive, and the painting presents a high level of perspective techniques.
 
The shouting figure trembled all over, with a pale yellow face and frightened eyes that exuded a sense of loss and confusion.
 
The blood red background, turbulent and rapidly changing lines, cannot be taken from reality, it comes from Monk's lonely and fearful life experience
