More from Edvard Munch
"When the sun goes down, it is as if the whole world is a giant mouth screaming."
"Death is the end of everything, but it is also the beginning of something new."
"I burned with wine and memory of the dark eyes—I was intense and talked to Fru L of love and pleasure."
"My afflictions belong to me and my art - they have become one with me. Without illness and anxiety, I would have been a rudderless ship."
"Some colors reconcile themselves to one another, others just clash."
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.
