Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intensely evocative treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late 19th-century Symbolism and greatly influenced German Expressionism in the early 20th century.
Quotes :
From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.
Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life.
For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.
I build a kind of wall between myself and t he model so that I can paint in peace behind it. Otherwise, she might say something that confuses and distracts me.
Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
