More from Edvard Munch
"I have been so often misunderstood, and my art has been called sick, morbid, and ugly."
"Man is a part of nature, and his feelings are part of nature."
"I am a wanderer, always searching for something I cannot find."
"The soul is an entity that exists in a state of eternal flux."
"Is it because she took my first kiss that she took the perfume of life from me?"
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.
