Despair ☵ Munch ☳ Canvas Add a Float Frame:No together with various animalsDespair (1894) by Edvard Munch is one of several works of similar composition depicting the Oslo fjord, the most famous of which being The Scream. The works relate back to a very strong experience of his when going for a walk at sunset. The setting sun suddenly turned the clouds red: "the sunset was particularly vivid red, red as blood, coagulated like blood." Despair, Anxiety, and The Scream are only a few of Munch's many depictions of that
