Um grito a dois: Khalo
Also known as The Flying Bed, this is arguably the most painful self portrait that Frida Kahlo ever painted. Not only had she just suffered her second miscarriage, she was also beginning to realize that she could never carry a pregnancy to term. Additionally, these physical and emotional agonies had to be faced in a foreign city that she detested, and in which she felt completely estranged.
This picture is entitled "A Few Small Nips" by Frida Kahlo. Inspired by a newspaper report about an unfaithful woman murdered by jealously, Frida created this work. A drunken man threw his girlfriend on a cot and stabbed her 20 times. However, he claimed that he only gave her "a few small nips". Frida's sorrow and anger is eminated in this painting after she found out her husband was cheating on her with her sister. The viewer can feel the physical and emotional pain that Frida experienced. This picture is graphic and grotesque making the viewer want to know more about the story behind the painting. To many viewers, this piece of art may not seem beautiful but art does not have to have certain conditions for it to be beautiful. Beauty is personal.

Grito 48
Amor Mundi
Christina Rossetti
“O where are you going with your love-locks flowing,
On the west wind blowing along this valley track?”
“The downhill path is easy, come with me an it please ye,
We shall escape the uphill by never turning back.”
So they two went together in glowing August weather,
The honey-breathing heather lay to their left and right;
And dear she was to doat on, her swift feet seemed to float on
The air like soft twin pigeons too sportive to alight.
“Oh, what is that in heaven where grey cloud-flakes are seven,
Where blackest clouds hang riven just at the rainy skirt?”
“Oh, that’s a meteor sent us, a message dumb, portentous,
An undeciphered solemn signal of help or hurt.”
“Oh, what is that glides quickly where velvet flowers grow thickly,
Their scent comes rich and sickly?”—”A scaled and hooded worm.”
“Oh, what’s that in the hollow, so pale I quake to follow?”
“Oh, that’s a thin dead body which waits the eternal term.”
“Turn again, O my sweetest,—turn again, false and fleetest:
This beaten way thou beatest I fear is hell’s own track.”
“Nay, too steep for hill mounting; nay, too late for cost counting:
This downhill path is easy, but there’s no turning back.”

Um grito na alma: Luciano Pavarotti, Nessun Dorma
Luciano Pavarotti singing from a concert in January 1980 with the NY Philharmonic cond. by Zubin Mehta. Compare this performance with other (later) dates; Pavarotti here is clearly still in absolute total command. This was part of the "Live from Lincoln Center" 30th anniversary special.

Um grito em forma de livro: Vinte Poemas de Amor e uma Canção Desesperada, Pablo Neruda
Vinte Poemas de Amor e uma Canção Desesperada (Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada) é um livro de poesia de Pablo Neruda, onde se cruza o erotismo da poesia que celebra o corpo da mulher, com o gosto que Neruda tem pela natureza. Nestes poemas, é frequente que os dois planos se cruzem, havendo uma certa identificação entre o corpo feminino e o mundo natural (as paisagens, a terra...).
Neruda escreveu estes poemas quando tinha cerca de vinte anos, mas são alguns dos mais celebrados da sua obra. O livro foi publicado em 1924.

Um grito de partilha: The King Sisters
One of the big band era's most popular and enduring vocal groups, the King Sisters -- Donna, Yvonne, Luise and Alyce -- were born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT. Taking their stage name from their father, vocal trainer Daddy King Driggs, the siblings initially teamed with their mother and a family friend as the Six King Sisters, first attracting attention while appearing with the Horace Heidt Band in 1935 and enjoying a three-year tenure on Heidt's radio series. The group's lineup shrank to a quartet as the decade wore on, and in 1939 -- following a stint with Al Pearce -- the King Sisters joined a new band formed by Luise's husband, the legendary guitarist Alvino Rey. In addition to appearing on Rey's hits "Nighty Night" and "I Said No," the sisters also scored a series of smashes issued under their own name, among them "The Hut Sut Song," "I Understand," "I'll Get By" and "In the Mood."
