Art Appreciation

You certainly don't have to be an art afficionado to appreciate Edvard Munch's The Scream. Painted in 1893, there are several versions Munch created, including a lithograph.

In his diary, Munch described his inspiration for these works:

"I was walking along a path with two friends—the sun was setting—suddenly the sky turned blood red—I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence—there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city—my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature."

Of course you don't have to love art to relate to this picture. If your job is sucking the life out of you and you're strongly considering running over your laptop with your car, dropping your cell phone in the toilet and faking your own death, you can probably appreciate this just fine.
