More from Edvard Munch
"I have created my art as a necessity, as an expression of my innermost being."
"Death is the end of everything, but it is also the beginning of something new."
"I have sought to express my inner self in my art."
"The greatest enemy of art is the good."
"I admire how you let your body and my body die in your love—but you must forgive me if I do not feel the heat of this love in myself."
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.
