Girl Combing Her Hair (1892)
Edvard Munch (Norwegian, 1863 - 1944) - Expressionism
Location: Rasmus Meyer Collection, Bergen, Norway
“I was walking along the road with two friends.
The sun was setting.
I felt a breath of melancholy -
Suddenly the sky turned blood-red
I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired -
looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword
over the blue-black fjord and town.
My friends walked on – I stood there, trembling with fear.
And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature.”
