Munch's 'Scream' and 'Madonna' Recovered

<< < (2/2)

Dark Lord M:
I don't like to look at the picture too long, it scares me.  :-P

(No, really it does scare me.)

Shadowborn:
I read about the recovery of the paintings on Yahoo! news, and the author of the article inadvertantly managed to change the entire way I look at "The Scream." The journalist had written a brief description of the painting, apparently feeling that some readers might not recognize it by its title, and had written "a portrait of a person screaming or hearing a scream."

I'd never thought that the person in the picture might not be the one screaming, but rather reacting to hearing a scream...and it actually makes more sense to me the more I look at it.

Morticia:
I'm always thrilled when artwork is recovered.

It's so very precious - there's only ONE original and that makes it so valuable, not in dollars and cents, but precious for the glimpse into the artist's mind that is shared with the world.

I got to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" once in the Armand Hammer exhibit.  I simply could not move away from it.  I could see where Van Gogh's fingers had made strokes with the paint.

I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
