Edvard Munch — The Scream (1895, Pastel Version) | Norwegian Art Print (Poster)

Edvard Munch (1863–1944)

One of the most iconic images in Nordic art—sharp, electric, and deeply modern.Edvard Munch’s The Scream (1895, pastel) is the most graphic of the famous versions, with strong contours, saturated sky bands, and a central figure that feels both human and symbolic. On your product page, the work is described as a crisp, high-impact Norwegian icon with “poster-like clarity,” which fits this version especially well.

Norwegian Nordic Art Print for Scandinavian Interior Design

This Norwegian art print is ideal for a statement wall, hallway, office, or modern living room. The sharper outlines and bold color make it a natural fit for Scandinavian interior design, especially with a slim black frame, neutral walls, and simple styling around it. The store page specifically highlights it as the most graphic of the Scream variants and recommends it for contemporary interiors.

Norwegian title: Skrik. The 1895 pastel is one of Munch’s four coloured versions of The Scream. Unlike the museum-held 1893 and 1910 versions in Oslo, the 1895 pastel is in a private collection after being sold at auction in 2012, so it does not currently “hang” in a public museum collection in the same way as the others.

“The 1895 pastel is famed for its sharper outlines and poster-like clarity.”
