Edvard Munch’s The Scream resembles a literary sketch that he frequently rewrote, describing a stroll where he becomes overwhelmed with anxiety. In one version he composed the following scene: “The sun was setting and the clouds turned as red as blood. I sensed a scream passing through nature. I felt as though I could actually hear the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds like real blood. The colors shrieked.”
