One of my favorite paintings too.

Microsoft.

Thats terrible, but the museum should have been morte secure, exspecially if the paintings had been stolen before.

Yeah, I like that painting. I don't doubt that it'll turn up somewhere, sometime. Think the guy screaming is an INTP? I always think of him as someone with agoraphobia.

I thought it was someone hearing voices that cut off their ears, but still heard them. He was schizophrenic, or so I thought..

[Anacaona]

That painting is scary... Wouldn't like to have it in my living room...

[ohnoaninfp]

Poor guy living in a world that was surreal and scary.

Personally, despite his links to German expressionism, I'm not awfully keen on Munch [ pron Mounk-ker apparently ], let alone this atrocity; but an interesting man. Somehow, I don't think he was that unhappy ( apart from going near blind towards the latter part of his life: death to a painter ):

I don't know--Monet went blind, and so did Picasso perhaps, in a sense, and it made them as painters.

Ironic.

[Claverhouse]

Well, I'm sure they weren't grateful.

Yesterday, Norwegian police arrested 9 guys for this offense.

[coffeezombie]

Did they find the painting, though?

[Trolsk]

Oh, fuck. Apparently it's related to another theft of his paintings. *Tries to unbump* [Edit: But, yes, they did find those paintings.]
