The Scream

In part 1 of Wonder, Auggie unexpectedly wears his "Bleeding Scream" costume instead of the Boba Fete (from Star Wars) disguise he told his classmates he was going to wear. The Bleeding Scream costume originated with an amazing painting called The Scream by Edvard Munch.

The Scream (1)

There are four versions of The Scream. They are very similar and all depict (show) a man screaming. They were drawn in pastel between the years of 1893 and 1910 by Norwegian artist, Edvard Munch.

The inspiration (idea) for the painting came from a walk Munch was taking:

        The sun was setting and “the clouds turned blood red. I sensed a scream passing through        nature”. (From Edvard Munch’s diary, January 22, 1892)
