A quick and easy puzzle. Would have been nicer in a larger piece count. Unlike other Clementonis I've done, the colors were very muted.

Edvard Munch’s The Scream (Skrik), first created in 1893, is one of the most recognizable images in modern art and a defining work of Symbolism and early Expressionism. A solitary figure stands on a bridge with hands pressed against the face, mouth open in an apparent cry, while two distant figures walk away in the background. Behind them, the landscape and sky appear to ripple in dramatic, undulating lines, while intense bands of red, orange, blue, and yellow create an atmosphere of psychological tension. Rather than depicting a specific moment realistically, Munch transforms the landscape into an expression of anxiety and emotional turmoil. The distorted figure, swirling sky, and exaggerated colors make the entire scene seem to vibrate with the protagonist's emotional state. Munch created several versions of The Scream in different media, reflecting his desire to explore the same powerful psychological theme through different artistic techniques.
