Yew meets Munch
The moment I saw this barkless section of the Linton Yew I thought of the Norwegian artist, Edvard Munch, and his most well-known painting, "The Scream". The way the lines of growth sweep together over the surface reminded me of Munch's s rushing, swirling, brushwork. It took only a slight mental leap to see in the bark two asymmetrically placed eyes above an open screaming mouth.
