Like Other Expressionist Art of the Period, the Norwegian Artist

Like other expressionist art of the period, the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's painting The Scream (1893) conveyed

A) the peaceful and romantic mood of middle-class life in turn-of-the-century Europe.
B) the carnival atmosphere and decadence of Scandinavia at the end of the nineteenth century.
C) the political outrage and horror of modern life felt by many Europeans, particularly in the face of middle-class optimism.
D) an absence of emotion or imagery and reflected the alienation of the viewer from the artwork itself.
