the scream
Hiya, Katy! My question is for Nick. I was curious
about the cover for the 45 of 'Serious', it sort
of reminds me of 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch.
I was wondering if Nick had anything to do with
the cover of that 45 and if he thinks it resembles
said piece of art.
Thanks! Tracye
"Oh boy Tracye, I am so pleased you are familiar
with Edvard Munch's The Scream cos it is awfully
special, but I got to say that aside from the
fact that the cover of "serious" depicts
a girl screaming, I could find little other reason
to assimilate the two images. Nonetheless, maximum
marks for imagination.
"The image we used was actually a photograph
taken by Ellen Von Unwerth during a session for
the cover of the "liberty" album at
a fairground in Paris. It was a hand painted billboard
& I have no idea whether it remains or has
disappeared in to the great Art Abyss of the world.
NR"
