"DESPAIR" (WILL HE JUMP?) 1894 -  A VARIANT OF THE INFAMOUS "SCREAM."   
THESE TWO MUNCH PAINTINGS, IF AND WHEN APPRECIATED TOGETHER, CAUSE
ME TO CONCLUDE THAT EDVARD MUNCH INTENDED TO PRESENT THE SHOCK AT
THE SCENE OF A  SUICIDE.  UNFORTUNATELY, "THE SCREAM" IS ROUTINELY
VIEWED, DISCUSSED, AND ANALYZED AS A SINGLE PAINTING;  SUCH AN
APPROACH MISSES THE FULL  MENTAL TRAUMA OF SUICIDE  TO AND THE
IMPACT OF THE PAIN FELT BY THOSE LIVING (INCLUDING MUNCH).

COWTALES

WELCOME TO moomoonews COWPEN PAGE
There is a cowtale which since the beginning and for a
long time was only shared by and only told amongst
the cows themselves. The cowtale speaks of the time
when God was still busy creating Heaven and all that is
under it.  Because God is God, God created a perfect
cow meadow.  After a while, God ended up regretting
to have overdone it.  To make amends,God created
moomoocow and stuck moomoocow in the cow
meadow.  moo moo moo.
