We talked about this painting in art class once and our teacher explained that the colors and texture of the sky in the painting is “screaming” not the person, making the person overwhelmed from their environment, its called expressionism :>
Munch’s personal description of the scream during his walk with friends was so oddly comforting to me when I first heard it….I have General Anxiety Disorder and I have experienced moments like that often. Knowing a widely regarded and famous painter also understood this unexpected inexplicable fear is just……it’s nice to know you’re not alone!!!!!!
"I would like to write a Book which would drive men mad, which would be like an open door leading them where they would never have consented to go, in short, a door that opens onto reality" - Antonin Artaud.
I heard somewhere it wasn't any kind of sunset... the colors in the sky really diferent and kind of "special" due to the recent eruption of the Krakatoa.
The scream face 😱😱gives me anxiety. Like I remember as a kid seeing the scream mask (I'm talking about the movies) and even the painting and I was afraid of it.
Someone a few years ago at an after school thing I went to (not dropping any names for safety) dressed up as the scream for halloween. I was already slightly scared of the painting, and the fake blood with the costume didn’t help that. And the fact that the place was decorated to the brim so the vibes were already set. I’m just rambling at this point, lol. Thanks if you read all the way through it 😅
You'd be surprised how many people are secretly mentally ill without realizing it (Well maybe you wouldn't be but it's a lot. Not that I could possibly know exactly how many)
Long ago I heard that this person in the middle of the painting isn't screaming; they are putting their hands against their ears, shutting them, because of someone/something else's scream. I was still a teen but it made total sense to me.
From my opinnion about this famous painting is that the screaming figure is telling the pain in the painter's head when he witness the ghastly horror on the landview while the painter is screaming from fear that he can't do anything but can only scream from fear
When the narrator said "Since Norwegian artist Edvard Munch created The Scream in 1893" I heard a little girl screaming outside my window! Coincident real-life sound effects?
The scream to me is amazing because it shows discomfort and pain via body language, by a skewed viewed and by unnatural vivid colours representing inside the mind.
Having been a fan of this painting for years, I can't believe that I never associated it with the 😱 emoji. It's probably due to the emotional being associated with fear whereas this painting is about anguish.
I remember when I was in 2nd year high school, we had a project in our art class where we were to choose one famous artwork and paint it in a white t-shirt. That time, I chose this one, The Scream. I remember that I have made it quite well. Then the painted t-shirts made by us students were placed (hanged) in one of our school's hallways as an exhibit. They were exhibited for quite some time. I can still remember - whenever I saw my project, I was happy and proud of it. That time, The Scream was the most interesting one for me. I found it bizarre that whenever I look at it, I get an eerie, sinister yet curious feeling at the same time.
I first saw "The Scream" on the cover of Friedrich Nietzsche's book "The Birth of Tragedy". The title of the book and the name of the painting made it seem even more intense.
The colors in the Scream came from the eruption of Krakatoa volcano. It erupted in 1883 sending gases and dust into the atmosphere. February 2004 issue of Sky & Telescope.
A stunning examination of Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'! This video wonderfully explores this legendary artwork's profound meaning and the secrets underlying its enduring fame. The findings illuminated each brushstroke's emotional and cultural significance. A wonderful art history lesson that made me appreciate this eternal masterpiece. Excellent effort deciphering one of the world's most iconic paintings!"
In Norway? Not likely. It is actually a common occurrence during winter in Scandinavia. I've painted a dramatic sundown myself, inspired by an actual sundown
It's probably worth mentioning that the fiery sky depicted in The Scream could have been the result of stratospheric aerosols ejected from the Krakatoa eruption in 1893
As a little kid I saw a snippet of PBS show on The Scream that my Grandmother was watching. The painting horrified me, and I couldn’t tell you why. Maybe it was that gaunt, ghost like face, or maybe that the figure was looking at you the whole time. Whatever the reason, I refused to look at anything having to do with The Scream till I was in High school. I’m happy I got a chance here to learn a little about the picture, and understand the history of the anxiety that inspired it and haunted my childhood.
Should have added the fact the red sky happened due to a large volcano eruption. I forgot which one it is, but i think its the one with the loudest sound ever recorded (due to the eruption)
The location where Munch got the insiration for the scream is "Ekeberg utsikten" wich is actually not a bridge, its a more like a cliff overlooking the city and the fjord.
The US government considering using the scream to mark hazardous sites for future generations is a TRIP to think about. I imagine there will be an entire branch of archeology dedicated to the World Wide Web.
Scream actually depict his painters own sufferings۔the pain he wants to convey is obvious,TB was a great cause of sufferings for these generations, imagine seeing someone die everyday slowly how horrible it is۔his soul is in this scream ۔۔۔۔

I heard it is also connected with a volcano explosion or something year without a summer

Interesting tho
@@PaigeTheCartoonCaptain When you can hear a description of a sound.
@@indigofenrir7236 what
I mean when that happens in real life
The Scream is the signature facial expression of college students.
When you enter engineering
😱
True, lol!
Besides crying.
And everyone living even after college.

You remind me of Sigourney Weaver.
It's giving depersonalisation or derealisation for me. Honestly why I like it so much.

the animation depicting the essence of the painting is awesome
Honestly with such a beautiful view of the sea I’d be pretty happy. Especially with that nice sunset.
Always wondered why the guy is screaming.
I hope this comment becomes the most popular. Cheers
existential angst...and mental illness
But when struggling with a mental illness or general unhappiness, even the most beautiful of the locations can feel overwhelmingly scary.
Could only have been painted by a madman

Still afraid and still gives me anxiety . 😢

You'd be amazed how much of an influence mental illness has had on arts and media

Munch be like:
😱😱😱
Having sevre mental health issues myself, that painting speaks to the darkest parts of my heart. Way too relatable.
Hearing his voice, one that moments prior spoke of psychiatric wards and TB, say “emoji” is the most surreal thing I’ve heard all week.
"Could only have been painted by a madman" wise words for sure ✨️❤️🩹 3:32

Dude, I love Edvard Munch! He's my favorite painter!
The “Scream” is a whole mood”
Taking a moment to appreciate the efforts and work the illustrators and animated have put together for this amazing project
I ❤ these TED-ED videos! 🤩
I’ve always had a ghastly feeling about this painting but then I figured it’s just me on a Monday morning when my alarm goes off
I want to know why people are seemingly inherently against artistic ventures. Seems to be a common theme throughout all of history.
Because they depict a brutal truth that upsets people in many cases
I swear to god this is my WhatsApp pfp
people fear the new & the unkown
Humans are easily startled creatures when it comes to new changes.
People are scared of change and the unknown, so free thinkers who express their emotions and travel are their enemy.
This painting successfully scared me as a child 😱
The animation here complements the painting so well ♥
I had an art teacher that loved this painting
This video is, in and of itself, a piece of art!
Fascinating topic! Thanks!
It's so freaking cool that this 😱 is in existence because of the painting. My new favorite fact that I can't wait to tell people. 😁
There's also cat version: 🙀
Awesome as always thanks ❤
I have been thinking of this painting for three days before I notice this video existed.
From my opinnion about this famous painting is that the screaming figure is telling the pain in the painter's head when he witness the ghastly horror on the landview while the painter is screaming from fear that he can't do anything but can only scream from fear
I always thought the figure wasn't screaming, just silently shocked by something to the point of staring with its mouth open.
never knew the backstory of this emoji 😱
i always thought it meant "oh wow" or "that's astonishing", or something like that.
how bad do you have to scare someone that their face deforms-
When the narrator said "Since Norwegian artist Edvard Munch created The Scream in 1893" I heard a little girl screaming outside my window!
Coincident real-life sound effects?
I like how it ties with current world context; explaining its influence on the now
The scream to me is amazing because it shows discomfort and pain via body language, by a skewed viewed and by unnatural vivid colours representing inside the mind.

Title: The Person Isn't Actually Screaming...
The Video: The Person Is Screaming 🤷♂️
Me reading the tiltle: 😱
Me after I watched the video: 🙄
Thank you!
Truly a masterpiece this video is
This is human suffering and pain expressed in art
How do you conserve a painting done on cardboard? I assume it wasn't corrugated.
Me and my cat watching this:😱🙀
I first saw "The Scream" on the cover of Friedrich Nietzsche's book "The Birth of Tragedy". The title of the book and the name of the painting made it seem even more intense.
Munch is my favourite artist. Love all of his paintings. I can relate to those human sufferings.
Loved this!
So interesting, thanks TED Ed.
This video gave me the same feelings as A Christmas Carol.
"The Scream continued its crescendo.."
Nice.
The pikachu in 4:20…what did it do to deserve this❤😂😂
Thank u all ❤❤❤❤❤
The colors in the Scream came from the eruption of Krakatoa volcano. It erupted in 1883 sending gases and dust into the atmosphere. February 2004 issue of Sky & Telescope.
finally someone mentioned the cause of why the sky was red as seen the painting
the best painting. ❤
"This person isn't actually screaming"
*explains why the person is actually screaming*
Me:
😱😱😱
Wow love the art and music in this one!
The music worked along with the vid really well

now it all makes sense... this is how panic attack feels like
So basically he invented depiction of Gen Z?
He's not screaming?! 😱 NOOOOOOOO!!!!
He's aroused
This almost triggered my anxiety
Beautiful❤
The sky in "The Scream" could have been caused by the eruption of Krakatoa.
no red skies happen every year, last year it was pink and the year before it was yellow idk why
In Norway? Not likely. It is actually a common occurrence during winter in Scandinavia. I've painted a dramatic sundown myself, inspired by an actual sundown
My wallet always screams in agony after payday

NEVER LET EDVARD MUNCH COOK AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥
Legend has it that it was the face your mom made when you were born
lol the pikachu scream
Fun fact: this masterpiece is inspired by the view from Van Gogh's second-story bedroom window.
Had a lot of nightmares literally about this in my life :(
I learned something today thank you!
and that is like the only noteworthy fact about this painting
I have no mouth and I must scream.
Should have added the fact the red sky happened due to a large volcano eruption. I forgot which one it is, but i think its the one with the loudest sound ever recorded (due to the eruption)
The guy was trying to paint an long eared dog but wasnt very good.
....you will never unsee it
I’ve always thought it was just a badly painted Spaniel
I used to have the same scream mask at home quite recently
The location where Munch got the insiration for the scream is "Ekeberg utsikten" wich is actually not a bridge, its a more like a cliff overlooking the city and the fjord.
Very cool
Could you make a video explaining Cholinergic uriticaria
Oh the agony of the world
I love this!

When I was in Elementary school the art teacher had us draw our own versions of this painting but with Crayola markers.
Until now I had no idea that painting inspired the ghost face mask in the scream franchise
The reader’s voice is very familiar, it seems I heard him in the cartoon “Papa Beaver’s story time’. 😍
Oh, I never guessed that it was from this picture that the symbol of horror and the movie "Scream" began.
Very wonderful 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
some historians have suggested that Munch was seeing the atmospheric impact of a major volcanic eruption that had reached around the globe
I read that the image of the man screaming was inspired by a Mummy in Chile he has seen.
4:23 I recognize that scream sound from the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and DisneyWorld 😍
No note of "Home Alone" and that famous still that the Actor is still associated with?
Scream actually depict his painters own sufferings۔the pain he wants to convey is obvious,TB was a great cause of sufferings for these generations, imagine seeing someone die everyday slowly how horrible it is۔his soul is in this scream ۔۔۔۔
Not sure why I never thought of this before, but could this painting have influenced the design of Gyigas in EarthBound?
The scream is me during exams fr
4:55 - 5:00 Am I the only one hearing the Angels screaming?
The overly red sky he saw was attributed to the volcanic eruptions in SE Asia that affected the atmosphere for some time back then.
Me: Scream ?
And all this time, I thought it was 'The Great Yawn' ...huh
