More from Edvard Munch
"The most beautiful things are often the most fragile."
"The colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas."
"Man is nothing but a beast, a highly developed animal."
"When the sun goes down, it is as if the whole world is a giant mouth screaming."
"Through art I have tried to get clarity in my life. I have tried to find a light in the darkness."
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.
