That would make sense.

Another version of the scream was stolen about ten years ago and later recovered. That time it was stolen so that a ransom dould be demended for it, but it all went a bit wrong.

 

To be honest I don't particularly rate Munchs work..... I'm much better.

Its a horrible painting, looks like it was done by a child.

 

Thats ART for you though isnt it.
