1. "I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord." This is a partial description, in the artist's own words, of what 1893 painting?
Correct Answer: THE SCREAM
Your Answer: The Scream
Points Assigned: 1

It seemed to fit the painting and fjord made it seem to be the work of a Norwegian. I've been to the Munch Museum in Oslo. And no, I didn't steal any paintings while I was there.
