Edvard Munch

“I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.”

“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.”

“My whole life has been spent walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone. Sometimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into the abyss.”

“From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity.”

“The colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas.”
