About Angry Boy
Sinnataggen, the Angry Boy, is a bronze sculpture in the Vigeland installation in Frogner Park and is considered Gustav Vigeland's most famous work. Probably modelled in 1928, it was installed in 1940 as one of 58 sculptures on the Bridge. It shows a naked, chubby little boy standing on one foot, fists clenched and shoulders raised, screaming in anger. About one metre high, it is one of four child figures in the central section of the Bridge. First called the Screaming Boy, it got its nickname in the 1940s and has become a kind of mascot for Oslo.
