More from Edvard Munch
"The soul is an entity that exists in a state of eternal flux."
"Some colors reconcile themselves to one another, others just clash."
"The trees are like spectres, the sky is like a bleeding wound."
"The camera cannot compete with the brush and the palette so long as it cannot be used in heaven or hell."
"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.
