Perspective: the painting itself is off-kilter with the foreground plane running out of sight of the canvas. The second plane in the background runs contrary to the foreground and without it, would look like a somewhat tranquil landscape (with the exception of the use of the artist’s use of line). The whole painting itself is off-balance just like the main figure’s frame of mind.
Line: Frenetic lines run through the fore-ground and in contrasting direction in the background. It adds nervous energy to the composition.
Colour: Mix of cool colours contrasted with vibrant orange and reds heightens the sense of unease.
Main-figure: The main figure is distorted, unlike the background figures walking behind who are calm and composed. Terror has gripped the subject to the point of distorting human characteristics.
Lastly, the best form of terror/fear is the unknown. We have no idea what has caused the main figure to “scream” – it could be what is in front of the subject(an immediate physical threat) or it could just be in their head.
Edvard Munch’s Scream is a perfect example of Rule #5 in the Manifesto – Paint for the Gallery, not the couch. I love this painting and frequently come back to it to remind myself of the importance of composition, value, line and colour – but I would never hang it up in my living room; it’s too loud.
