Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' on View at MoMA

Edvard Munch‘s haunting rendition of a hairless figure on a road under a yellow-orange sky has appeared on many a t-shirt, tote bag, and cheeky Happy 50th Birthday mug. It has been riffed upon by countless New Yorker cartoons and a beloved John Hughes film. Today the artwork begins a six-month visit to New York’s Museum of Modern Art, where it will be exhibited along with a small group of Munch prints. The artist created four versions of “The Scream” between 1893 and 1910, and this 1895 pastel is the only one remaining in private hands.
