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.

More from Edvard Munch
"Through art, I want to show people the terrible and the beautiful in life."
"The camera cannot compete with the brush and the palette so long as it cannot be used in heaven or hell."
"I was stretched to the limit—nature was screaming in my blood… After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again."
"The angels of fear, sorrow, and death stood by my side since the day I was born."
"Through art I have tried to get clarity in my life. I have tried to find a light in the darkness."
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.
