Enigma of an Autumn Afternoon - The Scream
Our theme today has been shadows and appearances. In the previous three photographs we've looked at Plato, the psychology of perception, surrealism and Giorgio de Chirico's Metaphysical Art.
Those of you with a background in art history will instantly recognise the de Chirico tropes in this image - steps, elongated shadow, disquieting colour and a lack of people.
The colour palette I have chosen is also very similar to one of the most famous paintings of the modern era, "The Scream" by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944). You may not have heard of Munch, but you have most definitely seen an image of his Scream.
[There's actually one hidden in this picture somewhere, but I'll make you look more closely to find it than the previous photograph.]
