"Had I been in possession of the as yet undiscovered little remote telephone which one carries around in one's pocket, you would have long ago received communications from me."
"Is it because she took my first kiss that she took the perfume of life from me?"
"Man is a part of nature, and his feelings are part of nature."
"Art comes from the inside. When a person is very sad, he can paint a beautiful picture."
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.
