The Scream (Edvard Munch)

One of my most favorite works of art. The other one is "Nighthawks" (below)

2. I like those too.

I think my favorite artist is probably Hieronymous Bosch. Here's a link that shows some of his work if you aren't familiar with it. http://www.artchive.com/artchive/B/bosch.html

3. I hate to see the exploitation of the "Scream."

It appeared at the Phoenix Art Museum several years ago, and the actual work is riveting, yet VERY disturbing to look at.

It really bothers me to see it treated lightly.

Edit: I love "nighthawks" too, and the same applies.

What's sad is that so few people see these both in an unadulterated form. They both invoke an intense mood.
