Munch's 'The Scream'
Everyone reads it as an utterance, a cry released. But Munch's own account is stranger: he stopped on a bridge, trembling, and felt 'an infinite scream passing through nature.' The figure isn't screaming with his hands to its ears, it's hearing a scream it can't escape. The mouth is open but no catharsis comes. The utterance that purges nothing, the cry with nowhere to go.
