A Real Scream for Halloween | Art Institute Shorts

A black-and-white print shows an abstracted human figure facing the viewer, its eyes wide, its mouth open in a scream, and its hands at either cheek. The gaunt figure stands on a bridge with two dark figures receding in the background and a lake and hills in the distance.
