The Scream (1893) ☵ Munch ☲ Canvas
The Scream (1893) by Edvard Munch is one of the most iconic images in art, symbolizing anxiety, surprise, shock, terror and despair. The Norwegian name is Skrik (Scream), and the German title when first exhibited was Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature). Munch recalled going for a walk at sunset when suddenly the setting sun turned the clouds "a blood red" and he sensed an "infinite scream passing through nature." Munch created two versions in paint and two in pastels, as well as a lithograph. This first version from 1893 features the barely visible pencil inscription "Kan kun være malet af en gal Mand!" (Could only have been painted by a madman!).

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
