The other One (Julie)the most famous "Scream," which was stolen, and then found, years ago (it's in black and white). One was just stolen day before yesterday, a color one, not quite as good. It has not been found. Edvard Munch, the artist; both were in Norwegian museums.. I was just thinking about the rich people who hire expert thieves to steal great paintints--and then hide them away in a cellar room, where nobody ever goes but them, and they sit, and look at the painting, all alone...kind of gives you the creeps!
Within the last ten years, a man stipulated in his will that he was to be buried with his Degas--or Monet, I forget which. His family either talked him out of it on his deathbed, or snatched it away after he was dead.
The idea that a great work of art can only be enjoyed by one person gives me the creeps!
