Munch's "The Scream" just sold for $119,000,000. Art can be instructive, and the great lesson of "The Scream" is that if you like the painting you should just go ahead and paint yourself a copy.
The painting has a very simple composition, inverted triangle with a strong diagonal. It uses no adventurous colorism, simple complements of blue and orange. There is no difficult technique employed in its creation. No great draftsmanship is required. It would be no challenge at all for a non-artist to duplicate it (with just a modicum of visual ability). Many copies would be hard to differentiate from the original.
So go ahead! Have some fun! Get out your paint box! Enjoy the painting in your own home every day. And save some money too!
