"...I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now ..."

Edvard Munch's "The Scream" (or The
Cry) 1893
"A gifted Norwegian painter and
printmaker, Edvard Munch not only was his country's greatest artist, but also
played a vital role in the development of German expressionism. His work often
included the symbolic portrayal of such themes as misery, sickness, and death.
The Cry, probably his most familiar painting, is typical in its anguished
expression of isolation and fear."
