Art comes from the inside. When a person is very sad, he can paint a beautiful picture.

More from Edvard Munch
"The camera cannot compete with the brush and the palette so long as it cannot be used in heaven or hell."
"And I would often wake up at night and stare widely into the room: Am I in Hell?"
"My art is a way of understanding myself."
"Death is the end of everything, but it is also the beginning of something new."
"For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep sense of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art."
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.
