"The Scream," an impressionistic rendering,was painted by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The painting depicts a man becoming overwhelmed by a rapidly dehumanizing modern world. 1893 was the height of the Second Industrial Revolution; an age of trains, automobiles and mechanized factories that advanced far more rapidly than many could endure. (Perhaps analogous to the computer age of today).
