The Scream

Something that has sparked an interest in me is paintings. Take the one to the left for an example, It was painted by a Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, depicting an agonized figure against a blood red sky. What the figure is screaming about is the question yeah? Some say the figure is screaming about some stressful event that has occurred; another possibility is that the figure is covering his ears because of someone else' screaming. I don't know about you, but it gets me wondering what the painters original intention was.

Another thing that's of interest, is that most of these famous paintings have had a eventful history behind them. Meaning they've been stolen. Figuring that "the scream" painting was worth $50 million dollars, I guess you can say that it was worth stealing for art thief's. This version of the painting was once stolen in 1994 and then re-found in 2004! That's ten years of stolen time!



Anyways, from time to time, I will post something meaningful. At least things I think are meaningful.
