“The Scream” Safe Again

Two Stolen Edvard Munch Works Recovered
“The Scream” is one of the most familiar images in Western art. Its open-mouth, head-clutching howl of angst has been reproduced on every manner of poster, balloon and T-shirt for generations.

Who doesn’t love “The Scream”? I was genuinely upset when it was stolen from its home in Oslo two years ago. Happily, the painting has been recovered and the robbers arrested. Hurray! “The Scream” is safe again.
