As part of Musart's original Musart on Decks collection, we proudly introduce an exclusive limited edition of 100 skateboard triptychs featuring the iconic work of Edvard Munch, The Scream (1893).

Edvard Munch, the Norwegian symbolist artist, created a series of four versions of his work titled "Der Schrei die Natur" (the scream of nature), widely known as "The Scream." Three of the original versions, made in both tempera and pastels, are currently housed at the National Gallery in Norway. However, one of the pastel versions was auctioned in 2012 at Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art auction, fetching a staggering price of nearly $120,000,000, making it the second-highest price achieved by a painting at that time.

In a diary entry dated January 22, 1892, Edvard Munch vividly describes the inspiration behind "The Scream": "I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there were blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature."

"The Scream" by Edvard Munch is often regarded as a representation of the existentialist feelings and moods that characterized the fin-de-siècle period of the nineteenth century. With its androgynous figure, skull-shaped head, elongated hands, wide eyes, flaring nostrils, and open mouth, this iconic artwork has become deeply ingrained in our collective cultural consciousness, much like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of this extraordinary collection. The Edvard Munch Skateboard Triptych, featuring "The Scream," is a testament to Munch's profound artistic expression and his enduring impact on the history of art.
