Beschreibung | Edvard Munch (/mʊŋk/ MUUNK, norwegisch: [ˈɛ̀dvɑɖ ˈmʊŋk]; 12. Dezember 1863 - 23. Januar 1944) war ein norwegischer Maler. Sein bekanntestes Werk, Der Schrei (1893), ist zu einem der ikonischsten Bilder der westlichen Kunst geworden. |
From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.
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.
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.
Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life.
