Why is\xa0Girls on a Pier\xa0my favorite Edvard Munch painting? It\u2019s that wistful pink bridge and how it blends into the road to nowhere. Many choose\xa0The Scream\xa0for its iconic emotional\xa0power and pull.\xa0I respect that. But I\u2019m drawn more to the subtlety of this piece. The resonant dread of Munch still permeates this painting. But there\u2019s a delicacy and poignance as well. At its core, this piece portrays the significance of time and longing in human life.
