The artwork, titled “The Scream (after Munch)” and created by Andy Warhol in 1984, is a silkscreen piece that falls within the Pop Art movement and a figurative genre. This particular work is part of the series “The Scream (after Munch) 1984.”
The artwork features a distinctive interpretation of Edvard Munch’s famous painting “The Scream.” The central figure, set against a stylized and colorful backdrop, is depicted with vibrant and exaggerated tones. Warhol’s use of bold colors, such as the vibrant reds, yellows, and greens, contrasts sharply with the somber expression of the figure’s face. The background elements, including the swirling sky and the bridge, are rendered in a simplified and graphic style typical of Warhol’s Pop Art aesthetic. This modern take on Munch’s seminal piece captures both the emotional intensity of the original and the playful, mass-culture vibe typical of Warhol’s works.
