"My art is an attempt to record the history of my soul."
"The disease of my soul is incurable."
"I paint memories, not things."
"Had I been in possession of the as yet undiscovered little remote telephone which one carries around in one's pocket, you would have long ago received communications from me."
"I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers."
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.
