The Scream: Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch’s The Scream (1895) is among the most iconic images in modern art. Published in conjunction with the presentation of The Scream at The Museum of Modern Art, on loan from a private collection from October 2012 through April 2013, this richly illustrated essay by Ann Temkin, MoMA’s Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, illuminates the artwork in detail and places it within a tightly knit family of related paintings, drawings, and prints made by Munch.
