The camera cannot compete with the brush and the palette so long as it cannot be used in heaven or hell.

"I find it difficult to imagine an afterlife, such as Christians, or at any rate many religious people, conceive it, believing that the conversations with relatives and friends interrupted here on eart…"
"Through art I have tried to get clarity in my life. I have tried to find a light in the darkness."
"I have been so often misunderstood, and my art has been called sick, morbid, and ugly."
"The greatest art is that which expresses the deepest human emotions."
"I paint memories, not things."
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.
