The combination of an open mouth, eyes wide open and two hands raised to cheeks has become a near-universal signifier of shock and existential fear, helped along by 1990s movie franchises such as Scream and Home Alone. Not to mention the scream emoji. In these "coronatimes," The Scream has taken on new significance, summoned once again to represent our anxieties of illness and death, of economic recession and of societal collapse.

In suggesting that Munch might be a "hospital Velazquez, " Ritter engaged the work of Julius Meier-Graefe and R.A.M. Stevenson, but offered an ambivalent view of the emerging histories of modern art.

Morehead and Otto trace the influence of this journal on artists and examine how issues of spirit, soul, and the occult were central questions for both Symbolist and Bauhaus artists.

I have come to delight in what ensues from some Francophone attempts to pronounce my surname. The silent "e" of the first syllable, the "h," the vowel combination "ea," and the final "d" of the second syllable can provoke sounds utterly unlike the Anglophone pronunciation. If I am lucky, a new acquaintance will gamely try, they might ask for help, and we might chuckle until someone breaks the spell by offering the translation "plus de tête." Now the pronunciation more closely accords with the name I think of as mine. My acquaintance is proud, I appreciate the effort, we share a laugh as we move from nonsense to the banal, and it might be the beginning of a friendship. The social rituals of working towards a "good" pronunciation aided by the "correct" translation of a concept that is also a proper name, not to mention the pleasure of hearing myself named otherwise from a name that caused some distress in adolescence, offer a glimpse of the intricacies, challenges, and thrills of communicating with other human beings.
