More from Edvard Munch
"The trees are like spectres, the sky is like a bleeding wound."
"The sea – it is as incomprehensible as existence – it is incomprehensible as death – as eternal as longing."
"I paint memories, not things."
"I think I am suited only to paint pictures so I know that I must choose between love—and my work."
"I am a child of the night, a child of sorrow and longing."
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.
