I remained immobile trembling from anguish and I heard bounce through nature an immense infinite scream.

More from Edvard Munch
"Is it because she took my first kiss that she took the perfume of life from me?"
"When I painted, I was a master. I felt that I dominated him, who dominated me."
"The sea – it is as incomprehensible as existence – it is incomprehensible as death – as eternal as longing."
"Through art I have tried to get clarity in my life. I have tried to find a light in the darkness."
"Art comes from joy and pain, but mostly from pain."
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.
