About this picture
The Scream is a public-domain illustration by Edvard Munch, dated 1895. Lithograph in black ink on cream card. The file comes from Art Institute of Chicago.
This is a print of The Scream from 1895, not the 1893 painting. Munch reused the image in lithographs and pastels. The figure on the bridge, the sky, and the two walkers stay in the same places.
About the artist
Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker. Anxiety, illness, and the shore return across both paintings and prints. The Scream exists in more than one version.
