The artwork, titled “The Scream (after Munch),” was created by Andy Warhol in 1984 using the medium of silkscreen. This piece belongs to the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art. It is part of Warhol’s series “The Scream (after Munch) 1984.”
The artwork features a reinterpretation of Edvard Munch’s iconic “The Scream,” displayed in Warhol’s signature Pop Art style. Utilizing bold colors and graphic lines, Warhol transforms the haunting and expressive figure from Munch’s original work into a vibrant and modern piece. The central figure, recognizable for its wide-open mouth and hands clasped to its face, stands on a bridge, with a background of undulating lines and bold colors that contrast dramatically with the figure’s red visage. The piece remains faithful to the intense emotional impact of Munch’s work while infusing it with Warhol’s distinct artistic approach.
