In August 2004, it was stolen along with Munch' s Madonna. In April this year, the police arrested a suspect in connection with the theft. It is rumoured that the two paintings have been burnt by the thieves to conceal evidence.

He pulled the information psychically..
The guy is freakin out...It almost looks like a ghost hearing something and horrified by it.
I think I read that he was depressed when he painted this.

Seriously, Munch titled this work, "the Scream" so why is this even being debated?
Because "The Scream" could be in reference to the figure screaming, or the figure hearing the scream.

All art is subjective, thats the beauty of it. I personally always thought he was screaming but I can see where it can be interpreted either way

It is called "The Scream" so the painter obviously thought he was painting a scream
