I don't have any more hope. Nothing to expect with joy so why work - why bother when I will have to eventually die one day. The knowledge to have done something great should be its own recompose. Which is the best painting? A miserable copy, a miserable representation of life.

"When I painted, I was a master. I felt that I dominated him, who dominated me."
"Man is a part of nature, and his feelings are part of nature."
"Death is the end of everything, but it is also the beginning of something new."
"What is art? It is the cry of humanity."
"Every person is a universe."
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.
