Il crido

"Every year... During the 20th century, the painter intensified his production of self-portraits." This part of his creation allowed him to piece together a fascinating visual autobiography. it was a pefect response to the Norwegian Bohemian literary agenda tha was in place at the end of 19° century, since its first commandment was to "Write the story of your life!"

In the history of art, it is often stated the Munch's oeuvre was marked by a rupture as the beginning of the 20th century. This rupture is situated either in 1902 ... At the time of a violent love dispute, when a gunshot damaged a finger on the painter's left hand, or after a stay in a clinic in 1908-1909, where is received treatment for his nervous troubles.
