The Scream was painted in a time of great emotional turmoil. I was walking along the road at sunset, and the sky turned blood red. I felt an infinite scream pass through nature.

"The greatest pleasure in life is to create."
"My art is an attempt to record the history of my soul."
"Life is a disease, and death is the only cure."
"My art is an expression of my longing for love."
"A picture is just like me; the more you try to understand it, the more it hides from you."
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.
