More from Edvard Munch
"Art comes from the inside. When a person is very sad, he can paint a beautiful picture."
"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow, and I am in them, and that is eternity."
"I hear the scream of nature."
"Some colors reconcile themselves to one another, others just clash."
"Man is nothing but a beast, a highly developed animal."
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.
