Edvard Munch (December 12, 1863 January 23, 1944) was a Norwegian expressionist painter and printmaker. His intense, evocative treatment of anguish greatly influenced development of German expressionism in the early 20th century.
The Scream (1893; originally called Despair), Munch's best-known painting, is regarded as an icon of existential anguish. As with many of his works, he painted several versions of it. The Scream is one of the pieces in a series titled The Frieze of Life, in which Munch explored the themes of life, love, fear, death and melancholy. It was stolen from the Munch-museum in Oslo, Norway, on August 22, 2004. There have been unsubstantiated rumors that the painting was destroyed by the thieves.
