More from Edvard Munch
"By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life."
"I thought I should make something – I felt it would be so easy – it would take form under my hands like magic. Then people would see!"
"When the sun goes down, it is as if the whole world is a giant mouth screaming."
"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow, and I am in them, and that is eternity."
"Certainly a chair can be just as interesting as a human being. But first the chair must be perceived by a human being… You should not paint the chair, but only what someone has felt about it."
