It has been stolen!!! I love this painting, I chose it to replicate in a painting class that I took a few years back. I dunno it just has something about it. I want to find the guy that stole it and kill him.
I just saw this on TV, and I was shocked...

That's Mr Tex, and thank you.

Apparently, another version of "The Scream" was stolen from the National Gallery in Oslo in 1994 (This one, the original I believe, was kept in the Munch Museum). That one was ransomed for $1 million, but recovered in a sting operation conducted by Scotland Yard.
The robbers also took "Madonna," possibly Munch's second-best-known work. Since both works are so famous and absolutely unique, a ransom demand seems most likely.
The police found broken frames a distance from the museum, and the car itself in northern Oslo. Art critics and historians are worried that the paintings will be damaged; "The Scream" is tempura on a piece of cardboard 25"x33", and could be destroyed if it is bent. "Madonna" is oil on canvas, and a bit safer out of its frame.
Here's "Madonna":

Definately sucks though. :(
Well your take on it is a hell of a lot more interesting than mine.

That's barely a bright side. Duplicating art is as decent a practice as plagiarism. In fact.. it IS plagiarism. And no doubt it would probably lose the "feel" of the original, as no emotion would be put into it.

He meant copy as in just so you could see it often, not to call it your own.
Yes, lets hope there's a shoot out and a few people are killed over this piece of useless painted card board too while we are at it. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I realize that, but there's a reason people pay millions for the originals of these works, and a very small percentage of that for duplications. The original has a story behind it. It's like knocking down the colliseum to build a new one. Just my opinion i guess, but that's how i see it.
Anyways, I hope no lives are wasted over this painting.

I mean honostly, <i>who robs a museum?</i>
I just hope the scream isn't damaged because of the paper it's on it needs constant regulation.

actually from a description a woman gave of the robbery, the guys sounded rather undoubleohsevenish. they "took the madonna off the wall and started banging it on the wall and the ground to break the grey strings off." I cringed when I heard that.
But I laughed when she said the started to go out the front then turned around and went out the back; a real smooth heist guys gee wizz.
edit: this was on the daily show today.

I tried looking around, does anyone have a reliable news article from anywhere?

Of course. The original is a treasure, I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that at least the picture, the idea of what the artist was trying to convey, won't be completely lost forever in case these aren't recovered because we have copies/duplicates. The duplicates aren't worth anything really, but still its a nice picture to look at. That was my point.
