More from Edvard Munch
"The colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas."
"The camera cannot compete with the brush and palette, it is far too clumsy."
"Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye… it also includes the inner pictures of the soul."
"The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men."
"The colors scream."
About Edvard Munch (1863-1944)
Norwegian Expressionist painter whose The Scream (1893) became the iconic image of modern existential dread. Closely associated with James Ensor (Belgian Expressionist peer) and Egon Schiele (younger Expressionist heir). For an intellectual contrast, see Pierre-Auguste Renoir, French Impressionist (1841-1919) — Munch and Renoir were exact contemporaries painting the same Belle Époque from opposite emotional poles — Renoir's dappled-light bourgeois pleasure and Munch's anxiety-soaked bourgeois terror are the late-19th-century painting's two halves. The same world; the cleanest emotional inversion.
