Edvard Munch is best known for his painting 'The Scream'. This painting is one of my favourites of his, after I visited the museum. It just feels to me that his paintings is his way to express his current state of emotions. There are times when he shows his confident side, but there are times his moments of pain and suffering slips out uncontrollably. Like in this portrait of himself... The wine-bottle (use of substance to get away?), his posture with hands clasped over his knees (a sign of resignation), the 2 waiters standing back to back who seem to grow out of his back (confusion? conflicting thoughts?).For more: http://www.munch.museum.no/work.aspx?id=17
