Norwegian police find Munch's "The Scream"
33 minutes ago
OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police recovered "The Scream" and another stolen masterpiece by Edvard Munch on Thursday, two years after the works were seized from a museum by gunmen.
"We are 100 percent certain they are the originals," police chief Iver Stensrud told a news conference. "The damage was much less than feared."
"The Scream" depicts a terrified figure under a blood-red sky. The other, "Madonna," shows a bare-breasted woman with long black hair.

As a Hoosier (probationary), I should be shot or exiled for that Skelton `fox pox'.
His seagull was my favorite.

King Crimson's IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING. With Eno. I think that album was before Eno's time - but Fripp is on it.

I'm stretching my memory here, but was the seagull Heathcliffe?

Hey, I got half of it. Just googled it up.
The seagulls were Gertrude and Heathcliff.

Isn't that weird? The paintings have been missing for 2 years, and 3 days after the M&M announcement they are back.

I caught them when they were touring back in '84 for one the "primary color" albums. Different line-up, but still a great show.

There used to be a step van running around my area with that image completely covering the back of the truck. It was awesome!

Hey, if a backdrop falls on your foot and you Krakatoa, you'd be turning red and screaming too!
Seriously, thanks for the post on the astronomical tie-in to the painting -- I wasn't aware of that.
