music and painting

Let's play the "what's wrong with this statement" game.

In a discussion on Munch, Lord Clark likened the anxiety of the painter's famous Shriek to Le Sacre du Printemps. I think this may be a mistaken analogy. Munch belongs in all his terrifying expressions of despair and anxiety to the Schoenberg persuasion. It looks as if Schoenberg must have been aware that the spirit of his music hardly reached the shattering penetrations of Munch.

There are two errors from what I can tell. Let me know what you think.
