In addition, the open-mouthed figure has appeared in popular cultural productions such as Wes Craven's \u003cem\u003eScream\u003c\/em\u003e film franchise, the poster for the kids' movie \u003cem\u003eHome Alone\u003c\/em\u003e, and in scores of satirical cartoons on everything from Brexit to Donald Trump's presidency and tax rises, as well as on innumerable political banners and placards, most recently in protests about the climate emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, the Scream image has also taken a prominent place on digital screens in the form of its own emoji and as the basis of countless memes. At the same time, the quantity of souvenirs and other objects decorated with or shaped like Munch's figure of desperation has increased immeasurably. In short: these days \u003cem\u003eThe Scream\u003c\/em\u003e haunts pretty much every layer of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is without doubt one of the most frequently reproduced images in the history of art, equalled only perhaps by Leonardo da Vinci's \u003cem\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/em\u003e, and is the originator of a constantly expanding network of analogue and digital mutations. Via these three texts, and a rich selection of illustrations, including all known Scream images ever made by the artist himself, a selection of his Scream texts, and countless so-called Scream mutations, this book embraces Munch's best-known image as a cultural phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePatricia G.
