More from Edvard Munch
"The sun no longer gives light. The sky is black. The earth is an empty space."
"By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life."
"Man is a part of nature, and his feelings are part of nature."
"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."
"The camera cannot compete with the brush and palette, it is far too clumsy."
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.
