Did you know that Edvard Munch wrote a text about the personal experience that would inspire him to create The Scream? Learn more about this text from art historian Signe Endresen.
Before The Scream transformed into an image, it took shape as a text. In the winter of 1892, Munch recorded a poem in his diary, which described a walk with his friends. He was captivated by the view of the flaming clouds and the blue-black city and water. Shivering with anxiety, sensing «a great and infinite scream through nature.», he had to stop.
