Must See...Edvard Munch's The Scream

"Edvard Munch’s iconic The Scream (1895), among the most celebrated and recognized images in art history, will be on view at The Museum of Modern Art for a period of six months. Of the four versions of The Scream made by Munch between 1893 and 1910, this pastel-on-board from 1895 is the only one remaining in private hands; the three other versions are in the collections of museums in Norway. The Scream is being lent by a private collector." (from MoMA exhibition notes). That Open Mouth and Its Silent Voice, a very smart review by Karen Rosenberg of the Times makes you want to drop what you are doing  and run uptown.
