Edvard Munch's 1893 painting " The Scream" sold Wednesday for $ 120 million at Sotheby's. He was 30 years of age when he got the inspiration fot the painting while walking along a Norwegian fjord. He recounted " ...then I heard the enormous infinite scream of nature. Nature was screaming in my blood...after this I gave up hope to ever love again."
Poor Munch. He didn't know he experienced nirvana. He should have embraced that experience and not looked backward to love of one and one alone. He was brilliant but a little cowardly.
