"I burned with wine and memory of the dark eyes—I was intense and talked to Fru L of love and pleasure."
"It is not the subject that is important, but the feeling it evokes."
"The true purpose of art is to make us feel alive."
"My art is a diary of my life."
"When you argue with your inferiors, you convince them of only one thing: they are as clever as you."
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.
A reflection on existential despair, the futility of work, and the nature of art.
