...world's best known paintings was discouraging news not only for anyone who cares about art but especially for museum officials and gallery owners, who know how vulnerable their treasures are. Nothing could be worse than the thought of a canvas as important as The Scream, Edvard Munch's indelible image of a man howling against the backdrop of a blood-red sky, disappearing into a criminal underworld that doesn't care much about the niceties of art conservation. Art theft is a vast problem around the world. As many as 10,000 precious items of all kinds disappear each...
...ready for Paris. It was by then the cockpit of modernity, the Paris of Picasso, Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck. Some of the first canvases in this show are portraits of women painted in Modigliani's earliest style, a gaunt Expressionism bearing all the signs of Edvard Munch and Picasso's by then discarded Blue Period, undertaken with broken brushwork learned from the canvases of Cezanne.

"What I like about The Prince...

"We are a living museum, which is why we are staging very modern exhibitions of contemporary art," he says. Appropriately, the opening of the new Albertina is marked by a major retrospective of the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch. Entitled "Theme and Variation," it features such masterpieces as The Scream and Madonna. Simultaneously, works from the museum's newly created photographic collection are also on display, plus an exhibition of the work of American artist Robert Longo, whose very Viennese subject is the apartment of Sigmund Freud...
...city reverted to the original name, derived from the Old Norse words As (God) and lo (field).) Today, the commercial center and most of the tourist destinations are west of the Aker, and one of the few attractions that lures visitors over the river is the Edvard Munch Museum, which honors the creator of the Scream pictures - the ubiquitous paintings and lithographs, not the ubiquitous teen-horror flicks. Go. The world's largest Munch collection includes the disturbing, darker-than-melancholy images usually identified with the artist, as well as more lyrical works featuring sea scenes and forests - his escapes...
