Scream

The Norwegian artist and cartoonist Arvid Andreassen has, in this elegant and humorous coffee table-book, gathered 86 of his 300 parodies of the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch's Scream. The worlds most famous angst-ridden woman is placed in numerous funny situations, and Arvid also shows how 16 well-known artists could have incorporated Scream in their art work. The experienced art journalist Arvid Bryne, who was Arvid's editor during more than two years when he produced about 100 versions of The Scream to be printed every Saturday in the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, has written microbiographies about these artists, and also a brief presentation of the life and art of Arvid Andreassen. This is a delicate, humorous book, perfect for gifts and souvenirs, with 100 pages, in glossy softcover and format 21 x 25 cm. Scream is published in both English and Norwegian.
