Edvard Munch did not make just one version of The Scream. The MUNCH museum distinguishes four coloured versions: two paintings and two drawings in pastel and crayon. He also created a lithograph of the motif, from which separate impressions were printed.
The phrase five versions therefore needs explanation: it can count four coloured works and one print design, but the lithograph exists in multiple impressions. The number of compositional variants and the number of physical sheets are different quantities. Munch returned to the image in different materials rather than simply making five identical copies.
