Who cries on the famous painting by Edvard Munch

Great creative heritage of the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch painting "the Scream" is the most famous. She not only often found in advertising, film and in the form of reproductions, but also formed the basis of the hundreds of Internet memes. Despite the dominance of "Scream" in modern mass culture, hardly anyone, except the critics, knows about how there was this creepy cloth and who is depicted on it open in a silent scream from my mouth.

Recently, experts in the field of art from the British Museum revealed the secret of the paintings of Edvard Munch's "the Scream". They claim that it depicts not flashy people. There are many versions of this painting, with subtle differences from the basic version, and is very serious.

They say that "the Scream" by Munch — painting mystical and the bad, and the person touching it, be sure to wait for the misery. People with mental illness and just mentally unstable should not be a masterpiece. The picture is incredibly disturbing and very strange. No wonder the author has made in the corner of one picture of mark — "this could only draw insane."

The Central figure of the picture — people screaming, sagashi hands over her ears, as many believe, was written under the impression caused by the visit to the Museum of natural Sciences, Oslo. There he saw "the screaming" Peruvian mummy, whose face and became the Central part of the canvas.

It may seem strange, but people screaming mummy is not the key point of the picture. He Edvard Munch described her birth thus:

It turns out that crying in the picture is not a figure like a man, and nature all around. The character only closes his ears with his hands, trying in vain to stifle the scream. Original title — "the Scream of nature", explains everything, but later Munch, for some reason, left him only "the Scream".

In total there are eight versions of "Shout", written by Norwegian artist and some of these are not "mummy", but ordinary people. Total of all paintings one bright, alien sky, striped, stretching out over the Bay of the sea. People in the know believe that it is not the fruit of a sick imagination of Munch and a real natural phenomenon.

The entry in the diary of experiences, nawayseh the plot, refers to 1892, and for 10 years before that there was a catastrophic eruption of the Krakatau volcano in Indonesia. The consequences of the emission of large quantities of volcanic ash was visible even in the most remote from the cataclysm of the world until the late 19th century.

There is another opinion on the origin of the picture. Biographers believe Edvard Munch, "the scream of nature" physically felt by the artist, is caused by a negative energy field where he was. Depicted in the painting "the Scream" the Gulf coast in Oslo is located in the vicinity of the largest in the city's slaughterhouses, and nearby psychiatric clinic, where he was kept by the artist's sister. Creative people are particularly sensitive to such negative way.

As for the picture itself, experts are sounding the alarm as soon originals paintings "the Scream" may be less. Canvas 1910 stored in the Museum of the artist in Oslo, was rapidly deteriorating due to high humidity.
