You know “The Scream”? By Edvard Munch?
Munch is my favorite painter. Maybe because he’s an expressionist, something I’m not comfortable being. Expressionist painters warped reality in their works to reflect their own feelings. It won’t shock you to know Munch’s paintings mostly share the same vibe of his most famous work. This one’s called “Ashes.”

“Love and Pain.”

He even titled this 1894 work “Anxiety.” Talk about ahead of your time: Munch was the Wilt Chamberlain of neuroses.
