AUGUST 2014

I watched a movie, last weekend, about the life of EDVARD MUNCH.  He's one of the most famous Norwegians..ever...(after me, of course) for his famous painting of THE SCREAM.

I see, in the papers this morning, that his most famous painting has just sold for $119.9 MILLION at Sotheby's.  That makes it the MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ART EVER SOLD AT AUCTION.

Leave it to the NORWEGIANS.  Fine art, Sturdy Vikings and lutefisk.  We've got it all.

Edvard had the last laugh.  Like Van Gough, when he was alive and trying to sell his paintings everybody thought they were "junk".  That's the sad thing about art.  You have to be dead before anybody likes it.
