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

More from Edvard Munch
"I have created a new art that will shake the world."
"The camera cannot compete with the brush and palette, it is far too clumsy."
"What is art? It is the cry of humanity."
"The Scream was painted in a time of great emotional turmoil. I was walking along the road at sunset, and the sky turned blood red. I felt an infinite scream pass through nature."
"I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell."
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.
