More from Edvard Munch
"The camera can't lie, but it can be an accomplice to a lie."
"A picture is just like me; the more you try to understand it, the more it hides from you."
"I do not believe in the art which is not the compulsive result of man's urge to open his heart."
"What I am seeking is not the real and not the unreal but rather the unconscious, the mystery of the instinctive in the human race."
"Death is the end of everything, but it is also the beginning of something new."
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.
