Norwegian painter and printmaker Edvard Munch believed that art should "arrest and engage," not be "pretty pictures to be hung on drawing-room walls."Edvard Munch: Introduction to Edvard Munch
Munch became Norway's most prominent artist in the late 19th Century, his controversial work often dividing the art world. His 1893 expressionist work, The Scream, is still one of the world's most famous paintings.Boheme Magazine: The Scream Munch created 50 different variations of this composition in his lifetime.

Reception
At the end of the 19th Century, critics called Munch's paintings "visions of a sick brain" that "have absolutely no connection with art."Edvard Munch: The Pain of Love By 1920, Munch’s work had begun to receive international recognition.Olga's Gallery: Edvard MunchThe Scream
When it was first exhibited in Munich in 1893, The Scream caused a scandal. Over the past century, however, the painting has become one of the most recognized paintings in the world. In the words of one critic, The Scream "has become the image of modern man: totally stressed out and angst-ridden."Edvard Munch: You Scream, I Scream...Two different versions of The Scream have been stolen from Norwegian galleries, one in 1994 and the other in 2004. Both have been recovered.
