More from Edvard Munch
"The soul is an entity that exists in a state of eternal flux."
"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."
"When the sun goes down, it is as if the whole world is a giant mouth screaming."
"Just as Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy and dissected corpses, so I try to dissect souls."
"I wanted to show that behind the outer facade of human beings, there is a whole world of emotions and thoughts."
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.
