“The Scream” and another stolen masterpiece by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch were recovered by police today, two years after it was stolen from an Oslo museum.
“'The Scream' and 'Madonna' are now in police possession,” police chief Iver Stensrud told a news conference. “The damage is much less than we could have feared.”
This just in time to ruin Mars' ad campaign for their new dark chocolate M&M's which are soon to make their debut. Hip hip hooray for the return of Munch's art and dark chocolate!
This reminded me of the time I put together a list of Scream imitations and remakes done by artists at Deviant Art. Some of them are pretty funny so I figured I'd post the link to the list.
