The Scream (Geschrei) – Edvard Munch (1895) – Vintage Lithograph Canvas Print

Edvard Munch’s The Scream is one of the defining images of modern art, and this stark black-and-white lithograph is among the most powerful versions of the composition. A solitary, almost skeletal figure stands on a bridge with hands pressed against its face, mouth opened in an expression of existential terror. Behind it, two distant figures continue along the bridge while the landscape and sky dissolve into undulating, organic lines. Munch’s exaggerated forms and rhythmic contours make the entire scene seem to vibrate with the figure’s distress, turning a recognizable landscape into a psychological landscape.

Created in 1895, this lithograph was part of Munch’s sustained exploration of anxiety, alienation, and intense human emotion. The image belongs to the larger Scream motif that Munch developed across paintings, drawings, and prints, but the lithographic version is particularly striking for its stripped-down black-and-white design and expressive use of line. The National Gallery of Art identifies this impression as Geschrei (The Scream), printed by A. Liebmann Buch u. Steindruckerei Graviranstalt, and notes that the composition’s agitated landscape and isolated figure communicate fear, desperation, loneliness, and abandonment.
