More from Edvard Munch
"I admire how you let your body and my body die in your love—but you must forgive me if I do not feel the heat of this love in myself."
"Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light."
"Life is a disease, and death is the only cure."
"My art is a prayer."
"Art comes from the inside. When a person is very sad, he can paint a beautiful picture."
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.
