Color Theory: Because Who Needs Functionality?

Primal Screams was a revolutionary new art movement that emerged in the early 90s, characterized by its bold and unapologetic use of color. It was the brainchild of renowned artist, Balthazar McFartsworth III, who was known for his ability to scream at an ear-shattering decibel.

Key features of Primal Screams include:

• Unapologetic Use of Bright, Eye-Hurting Colors
• Abandonment of Traditional Color Theory
• Emphasis on the Emotional Response

Some notable works of Primal Scream include:

• "The Scream of the Century" - a canvas painted with an ungodly mix of chartreuse and neon pink
• "The Primal Palette" - a series of 10 canvases each representing a different primal scream
