More from Edvard Munch
"The sun no longer gives light. The sky is black. The earth is an empty space."
"I wanted to show that behind the outer facade of human beings, there is a whole world of emotions and thoughts."
"I burned with wine and memory of the dark eyes—I was intense and talked to Fru L of love and pleasure."
"My art is an attempt to record the history of my soul."
"Certainly a chair can be just as interesting as a human being. But first the chair must be perceived by a human being… You should not paint the chair, but only what someone has felt about it."
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.
