World-famous artist Sue Coe, author of Dead Meat and Cruel, created The Screaming Hen for this edition of Poultry Press. The hen screaming in her “enriched” cage echoes Norwegian artist Edvard Munch’s famous depiction of his experience, related in his diary in 1892, of hearing “an infinite scream passing through nature.” The Scream has been described as an expressionist evocation of an individual suffering from a sense of total distortion of one’s environment and one’s self. The proximity of a slaughterhouse and a madhouse to the site depicted in Munch’s screaming figure may have influenced his portrait of infinite agony. Please click here . . .
