Postcard #4

Postcard #4 from Oslo, Norway.

During dates: 31.04.14 - 04.05.14

Depicts: "Skrik" painting by Edward Munch, 1910.

From: bought myself.

Maxi card with one of my favorite paintings. Bought it in the shop at the Munch-Museet in Oslo.

I really enjoy the art of Munch. A lot of people say that he has very depressive works which only leave the feeling of despair. Yes, sometimes they do. But I love Munch not for that. To my mind, with his art he expressed and got rid of not only negative emotions but also depicted something more deep and thoughtful. And many of his works are pretty colorful like "Skrik" ("Scream").

Stamps: no stamps
