The Lair Hill Neighborhood? I assume this means the paintings will be mounted inside the aerial tram?

Actually I am not a great fan of this picture (I mean “The Scream”) but I am glad that it was found.

The only really famous painting I've seen up close. It came to Portland back in 1981 with a large retrospective of the work of Munch. He witnessed a lot of tragedy in his life the death by tuberculosis of his mother and a sister when he was young that had a big impact on him. He was quite skilled at engraving and did some very beautiful work that looks more conventional. Despite his obsession with death and abandonment he lived to a ripe old age and his work reflected towards the end of his life a more balanced and positive outlook.
