More from Edvard Munch
"My art is a prayer."
"Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye… it also includes the inner pictures of the soul."
"It is not the subject that is important, but the feeling it evokes."
"I am a wanderer, always searching for something I cannot find."
"Art comes from joy and pain, but mostly from pain."
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.
