More from Edvard Munch
"The colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas."
"The colours scream. They are the scream itself."
"The angels of fear, sorrow, and death stood by my side since the day I was born."
"The soul is an entity that exists in a state of eternal flux."
"I remained immobile trembling from anguish and I heard bounce through nature an immense infinite scream."
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.
