Worn Out - by Hans Andersen Brendekilde

In 1889, Brendekilde exhibited Worn Out at the World Exhibition in Paris. … Ralph Sonne argues in his book H.A. Brendekilde … that Munch was inspired by Brendekilde … As Brendekilde’s Worn Out with the Screaming Woman was painted four years before Edvard Munch’s Scream, and Munch painted several sketches for Scream immediately after the World Exhibition in Paris. … Ralph Sonne documents in his work that Worn Out is the first painting in modern painting in which a living person screams. … It also seems that Brendekilde inspired … Finland’s national painting: Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s Lemminkäinen’s mother (1897). Brendekilde is an absolutely central visual artist in the depiction of rural life in the 1882 - 1920s.
