Through art I have tried to get clarity in my life. I have tried to find a light in the darkness.

More from Edvard Munch
"The colors scream."

"Art comes from the inside. When a person is very sad, he can paint a beautiful picture."
"I am a child of the night, a child of sorrow and longing."
"I believe in the art that heals."
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.
