Comparing the Wandjina paintings with the The Scream by Edvard Munch I found that both are somehow similar as there are human-like forms that convey the meaning or feelings. Both characters in the paintings are exaggerated on the features and in the painting the use of yellow has been applied extensively in both. The paintings are intense, as well as symbolic. Although they are similar in these ways, I still feel that the meanings of these two paintings are different in context as the Wandjina paintings are far older than the The scream by Edvard Munch and therefore this meaning might be of ancestor, spiritual beliefs, nature, or cultural beliefs whilst the scream appears to be of strong emotions and fear, anxiety and distress. Flowing patterns and colors as well as brushstrokes on the painting make the painting even livelier. So the similarities between the two paintings are messages, expressions, use of color and shapes but the differences are that Wandjina painting message is the message of the ancestors past and spirituality whereas Edvard Munch The Scream, is a negative message yet is more colorful and lively.
