A classic for sure. Sums up how I am feeling waiting for FedEx to get me my awaited watch... I think it's clever on Google's part. Munch, Edvard (b. Dec. 12, 1863, Löten, Nor.--d. Jan. 23, 1944, Ekely, near Oslo) Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intense, evocative treatment of psychological and emotional themes was a major influence on the development of German Expressionism in the early 20th century. His painting The Cry (1893) is regarded as an icon of existential anguish. A gifted Norwegian painter and printmaker, Edvard Munch not only was his country's greatest artist, but also played a vital role in the development of German expressionism. His work often included the symbolic portrayal of such themes as misery, sickness, and death. The Cry, probably his most familiar painting, is typical in its anguished expression of isolation and fear. The Scream (or The Cry) 1893; 150 Kb; Casein/waxed crayon and tempera on paper (cardboard), 91 x 73.5 cm (35 7/8 x 29"); Nasjonalgalleriet (National Gallery), Oslo Attachment: munch.scream.jpg (Downloaded 24 times) Last edited on Tue Dec 12th, 2006 08:06 pm by Paxman |

Was stolen 'cause they couldn't stand looking at it anymore. Are all the versions as revolting? Should have figured on a Norwegian........cold, miserable, in the depths of despair. Please, do not bother purchasing one for moi. Thank you very much. canadajo wrote: There are 5 or 6 versions of that painting .........and every one is worth millions....one was stolen a year or two ago

THAT'S existentialism????? Can't there be "pretty" existentialism? rofl.......you know: flowers, sun, waves crashing against the rocks, blizzards, autumn, puppies/kittens, cars, Bradley/Abrams tanks, etc? Do they all look as though one's about to off himself because he can't handle reality? PS.........am not into tea, sir. PPS..........could have begun with your infamous 3 letters, sir.

HAH! should have known..........you and another member of this esteemed forum are Dali people. I like a couple of his--maybe 4. Now, your avatar--is that you kyaking in some fiord? Why isn't there a signature, or is it so minuscule one can't see it, or is it in the scream somewhere???? Why does it have to be existentialist anguish? isn't just plain, old anguish good anymore? my anguish is as good as anybody's, imho. :) canadajo wrote: HA :D ...
