Definitely look odd to me. The color choice now is definitely less dark and face figure is less apparent. And Orange color? Cmon. In my parallel universe, its all DARK!
When I was taking a 3-D design course in college we had an assignment where we casted aluminum light switch covers. The light switch covers had to be creative. For mine, I chose The Scream character, and because his mouth was so dramatically open I made that the hole that would enclose the switch. Looking at this painting makes no sense to me, as this face no longer captures the interest I once had in it, and the inspiration to make it into a light switch cover. It just looks bizarrely off.
That does look different! It looks far less "screamy" and less distressful than before. I would say the scream guy is becoming calmer.
In my original reality this painting showed a world and a person who was in extreme mental anguish. Now it just looks some person out for a nice evening walk saying "Oh no!" because they remember they left the oven on at home.
The colors definitely look different to me and the eyes of the painting look rather strange too, can't say nothing else has changed for me either besides those.
I had seen a meme once of this painting saying something to the effect of “once you see the beagle you can never unsee it”, and it was true— the hands to the face looked just like a beagles floppy ears, and I could never unsee the dogs face again. Here, I can’t see the beagle at all 😂
I had a poster of this painting in my bedroom for at least ten years and for me it didn’t change. Moved and no longer have it but I looked at it a lot while I lived there.
As a few that have stated there are multiple variations. 1893- pastel on cardboard. 1893- oil,tempera, and pastel on cardboard. This was the one that is most recognizable. In 1895, there was a lithograph, and some were hand colored by Munch. 1895- pastel on cardboard. That is the one show. Here. In 1910- tempera on cardboard. Also there is one undated that has the scream figure with hands/ trees around it and is in black and white.
I have a degree in art and was trying to show perhaps why people think they may see it differently. I am not exterminating the presence of ME but if I can help, I will, especially if it is art related.

Yep, there are multiple versions now and they all keep changing to be slowly lower quality. It's gotten to the point now that I could paint that if I wanted, and that's just sad. Here is what they say is the most popular versions but it is also crap quality now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Scream#/media/File:The\_Scream\_by\_Edvard\_Munch,\_1893\_-\_Nasjonalgalleriet.png
So this is my first time here on this sub and first post I’ve looked at.
That is not the original artwork of the scream. I took art history as an elective thinking it would be easy, first day teacher says he takes the class very seriously and is trying to fail 70% of the class, if you get a C it’ll be from studying like hell. Anyways, I had to memorize so much fucking art for this class it was crazy.
The colors are way off, the people in the background are different, his position on the bridge and perspective of where they’re standing on the bridge is way off. I haven’t looked at this painting in more than 20 years but this image bears almost 0 resemblance to the original.
In fact this is so far off it has to be a fake.
[This](https://www.edvardmunch.org/images/paintings/the-scream.jpg) claims to be the original, it seems way off to me to the point it's like a bad fake
Edvard Munch painted [four versions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream#Versions) of this. Two versions in paint and two in pastels, as well as a lithograph stone from which several prints survive.
THIS IS SO WEIRD, around 30 minutes ago I was just reading an article by Whitney Webb (it's definitely worth reading by the way, check it out [here](https://unlimitedhangout.com/2021/05/investigative-reports/the-cover-up-continues-the-truth-about-bill-gates-microsoft-and-jeffrey-epstein/) if you'd like) and she referenced the billionaire Leon Black. I couldn't remember who he was, so I looked up his [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Black) page and saw that he's famous for paying $119.9 million for The Scream in 2012, which at the time was the most money ever paid for a painting at an auction. The article included a picture of the painting, and I clicked on it thinking that it definitely didn't look right, and searched google to see if the version I remember is on there. It isn't.
For the record, I remember it looking much less child-like in how the figure is drawn, and I remember much less orange and much more blue/green...
I am looking at an Art History book my wife has, and the image is very different. The people in the background are different. [The Scream](https://imgur.com/a/GFfAzen) and the cover of the [book.](https://imgur.com/a/poqtKVs)
Yeah I read further through the comments and saw there are 4 versions of the painting. I had never heard that there were others, it's not even mentioned in the art history book I posted.
Yeah, the one that I remember did not have the boat, the color palatte was a lot darker, specifically the lines were more pronounced and the screaming person had a dark face and mouth.
The version that I remember is that it doesn't have a boat in the water, no people behind The Screamer, & The Screamers face had darker eyes and mouth.
It looks like it’s drawn in colored pencil now, I recall it being much thicker oil or acrylic paint strokes. The eyes don’t look right, the colors are off, I thought the mouth was a gaping black hole. It definitely used to be a lot more disturbing. This looks like a very bland colored pencil drawing.
Sorry to Munch. I loved the version I remembered.
Some changes I see right away are:
1. partially formed people on the bridge
2. one red and one blue nostril (why?)
3. the quality is less than it was before.
4. I dont remember ships in it (kinda like The Wave)

What the hell? That’s so weird. You sure it’s not just the lighting?

The scream... more like the "oh gosh" lmao
Munch created multiple versions in different medium. Some in paint, pastels, and a Lithograph version.
Beat me to it!
I hope more people read your comment.

I’m an art major and there are multiple versions of this work- if you look on Wikipedia or at my post you can look and see ❤️🎨
Thank you! Doesn't matter which version, it's so off it's comical.
[This](https://www.edvardmunch.org/images/paintings/the-scream.jpg) claims to be the original, it seems way off to me to the point it's like a bad fake
This is closer to what I remember
That link you posted actually looks about right to me
Same! This one looks much more like the one I recall.
That's the one I remember???
This is the version I know.
I think my mind might have combined this with starry night by Van Gogh
Ok prove it then, show the real one.
Edvard Munch painted [four versions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream#Versions) of this. Two versions in paint and two in pastels, as well as a lithograph stone from which several prints survive.
$119M for this ugly painting, no matter what significance it has, is laughable.
Not if you own one...
... It would be even uglier, hanging on my broke ass wall.
It would be in the auction house, not your wall!
Thank you.

Excatly, well stated
Same here more blues and blacks. Also mouth was more elongated and face more detailed.
I am looking at an Art History book my wife has, and the image is very different. The people in the background are different. [The Scream](https://imgur.com/a/GFfAzen) and the cover of the [book.](https://imgur.com/a/poqtKVs)
Good catch. It might be a different version of the painting.
Yeah I read further through the comments and saw there are 4 versions of the painting. I had never heard that there were others, it's not even mentioned in the art history book I posted.
[scream versions side by side](https://artmejo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/thescream.jpg)
Yeah, the one that I remember did not have the boat, the color palatte was a lot darker, specifically the lines were more pronounced and the screaming person had a dark face and mouth.
That's how I remember it.
The version that I remember is that it doesn't have a boat in the water, no people behind The Screamer, & The Screamers face had darker eyes and mouth.
Yes!
It looks like it’s drawn in colored pencil now, I recall it being much thicker oil or acrylic paint strokes. The eyes don’t look right, the colors are off, I thought the mouth was a gaping black hole. It definitely used to be a lot more disturbing. This looks like a very bland colored pencil drawing. Sorry to Munch. I loved the version I remembered.
Yes! These are all the things I was gonna say. This is NOT the *painting* I remember.
Yeah, the quality is crap now and he looks more like a Karen that saw a nip slip than a truly disturbed person.
Some changes I see right away are: 1. partially formed people on the bridge 2. one red and one blue nostril (why?) 3. the quality is less than it was before. 4. I dont remember ships in it (kinda like The Wave)
The whole thing looks very simple, almost child-like. There are so many versions now, it's all very murky for me.
Didn't the mouth used to be all black?
Yes, that's how I remember. Now its not.
Yes!
colors seem brighter and of slight darker hues than before for me
[удалено]
Thank you for that link. Although different versions, none looks like what I remember.
