list of scream (film series) characters
brendekilde´s scream seems to be the first scream of a living person mentioned by name in the history of painting. it depicts a living person´s reaction to a state of society. the names of both models are well known and they were wife and husband. in 1889-91 (probably 1889) munch made a preliminary sketch for the scream - “ mann som går langs en vei” - with a lonely old worn out man walking with a stick alone in a road in a flat danish landscape with trees in the background, reminding one very much of "worn out". one can also compare it with the preliminary study to "worn out". this preliminary study is "stensamlere" or "stone collectors", painted between 1883-1887. on "stone collectors" you see three persons and an old man standing between furrows similar to the road lines in munch´s sketch. four years passed after the painting of "worn out" (1889) before munch painted his world famous "the scream" (“skrik”) in 1893. munch had many strange explanations of the background for "the scream". studies of letters, notes and sketches by munch do not give much information concerning other artists. to art historians and munch specialists this research and theory is totally new. munch was from the beginning inspired by brendekilde´s original scream in "worn out", which he transformed into his symbolistic scream of desperation, alienation and anxiety in the new state of society. it is probably a self-portrait. there is a direct line from munch´s "scream" to the well-known screams later in the 19. century (pablo picasso, francis bacon, asger jorn, andy warhol etc.). in 2007 max ginsburg painted "war pieta", which reminds one of "worn out".
