Of his famous painting, Edvard Munch said “I stopped and looked out over the fjord — the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream.” (WP) Above: A Belfast yell with clouds of “peace” line green.
For a 1993 use of the actual Munch painting, see Give Them That Screamin’ Feeling!

“Paint this shitty city pretty.” A graffitist (from TMN?) on the Cupar Way “peace” line, calling for the removal of his/her own work? Or perhaps just that of the thousands of tourists who add their names and messages to the wall? “Peace and love”, “All you need is love”, “Fuck Dublin”, “A wall can’t stop hate; maybe peace can”, “Fuck the IRA”, “Fuck Trump 2016”.
