Was slightly taken aback today when I opened the Google home page.
A tormented limp figure, hands tightly clasping ears, stared up at me ominously, looking as if it were just about to come out with a blood-curdling scream / howl.
Visibly shaken by the image, I set about to figure out the reason behind the wailing figure.
Turns out, today is Norwegian painter, Edvard Munch’s birthday. Now I am no connoisseur of art, so kindly ignore my “howler.” The picture is one of his most famous, aptly named, The Scream. Though I was aware of a painting by that name, I had never seen it before; hence my surprise and why-in-the-world-did-Google-keep-this-image-more-than-a-month-after-Halloween bewilderment.
Turn to the Google homepage to see it for yourself.
Or if it is after December 11 that you see this post, then see it right here.
