Object Detail


About the Work
Probably in the Sarjeant Residency show. The painting has vague echoes of Munc and his scream but is quieter also. The statue lurks by a dark lake. I had visited Norway about 1980 and had purchased several books on Munch as well as painting my own versions of the Scream.
