It is so strange to be entirely gone that it must that the hour must come when you can say to yourself now you have 10 now 5 minutes left and then it will happen and you shall feel how little by little you become nothing – Then you will never again see the green landscapes It is so strange that so much that is lovely exists and that one has to leave it.

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.
