 The Scream
by Edvard Munch

According to Edvard Munch, the inspiration for this

painting was drawn from a past event. "The Scream" was
a result of the anxiety and fear he felt on a day while
walking with two friends. The serene atmosphere, which
he had hoped to enjoy, was suddenly interrupted by
changes in the sky, caused by the setting sun.
 The Son of
Man

by Rene

Magritte

"At least it hides the face partly. Well, so you have the
apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden,
the face of the person. It's something that happens
constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we
always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There
is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible
does not show us. This interest can take the form of a
quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say,
between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is
present."
