The title of the painting is “The Scream”. Yes. I also screamed when I saw it. Why did I scream?
I am not interested in painting: not only to paint by myself but also to look up the others’ paintings. I never ever think that I will be asked for my views over a painting. Now, it will be a part of my learning chain. That is why I screamed with surprise.
I made my first sight to the painting with my ego; getting to know faster its meaning by myself before speaks out itself. I looked it up several times and was searching for its meaning why the painting was called - “The Scream”. The more I concentrated in trying to get the point, the more I got digressed from its true meaning. Another important aspect I've noticed is the use of color in the painting which really irritated my vision and made me uncomfortable. The painter used plenty of colors in it. I lost my control. To calm down, I took a deep breath and counted from 1 to 10. And then I looked up the painting again. I did not try to literally translate the painting the way I wanted but wen with the flow.
The painter illustrated his whole painting with a lot of colors. I think he chose the wavy painting to reflect the situation of the location and also used the different colors to clearly know about the conditions happening in his painting. He well shaped emotional statement and response of human being when he saw the horrible situation approaching towards him to be killed.
It is just a painting but it can say a thousand words to us. We can touch it and feel it. The message I got from his painting is the uncertainty of life. Nobody knows when, where and how we will die in near future.
