Question - 305

Connect the three visuals.

Answer: The connect is Edvard Munch's famous painting Scream. The first visual is the movie poster of the movie "Scream" where the killer's mask is designed after Munch's painting. The second visual shows the recent theft of the painting from Munch's museum in Oslo. The third visual is Krakatoa whose famous and catastrophic eruption in 1883 suspended so much particles in the atmosphere that sunsets all over the world were spectacularly reddish during that year. There is a theory that the reddish color of the sky in Munch's painting is due to this. Ajinkya, Srivats, Iam, Anshul, Adi (almost), Raghu, Manix, Divya, Rajesh, Major Shankar and Hasan got it. Well done.

Edward Munch is the connection?
1) Movie poster of "Scream", which is also the title of a series of paintings by Edward Munch.
2) Thieves stealing paintings from the Munch museum.
3) Krakatoa volcano from which Munch's scream series is supposedly inspired.

Scream movie with mask like the painting

Munch museum theft

Krakatoa eruption gave the idea to Munch

1st visual is the movie Scream, 2nd visual is the museum from where Munch's Scream painting was stolen and the 3rd visual is the Krakatau volcano. The scream painting was said to be motivated by the typical red sunsets observed in Europe when Krakatau erupted in 1883.

Adi said...

Scream, the movie, scream, the painting, and scream, the volcano (Actually, there is no such things as scream, the volcano. I thought of Karkatoa and its relation to scream, the painting, but then scream the movie does not make sense, so the wild guess with scream, the volcano)

Raghu said...

Wes Craven's Scream, whose killer's mask & movie title were inspired by Eduard Munch's Scream whose impossibly red sky was inspired by Krakatoa's explosion.

(a) Scream, The Movie
(b) Thieves stealing The Scream, from the Munch Museum
(c) Krakatoa - Munch might have witnessed it and the reddish background could be attributed to the ash from Krakatoa

Nice connect!

Divya said...

First visual - scream (movie) ->
depiction of the killer in the movie inspired by munch's scream painting

Second visual - a photograph of the scream painting being stolen from the munch museum in oslo

Third visual - red sky in the painting -> red setting sky that munch observed in the 1890s in oslo -> it is now believed to have been caused by detritus from the eruption of Krakatoa

Connect: Edvard Munch's The Scream. Visual 1: poster of the movie Scream. Visual 2: Masked men stealing the painting from Munch museum in Oslo. Visual 3: The red sky in the painting is supposedly inspired by Krakatoan eruption of 1892.

The connection is SCREAM

The poster is of the movie SCREAM

The next picture is of thieves taking paintings from the Munch Museum in Oslo on August 22, 2004.

The original 'The Scream' painting is based on the volcano red sky effect.

The scream is one of the most stolen paintings

slasher?

Hasan said...

This refers to the painting "The Scream" by Munch. left visual is the movie Scream, and last one is the krakatoa explosion which one theory says inspired the reddish sky in the painting.
The middle photo is linked to the episode of it being stolen from the Munch Museum.
