The way one sees is also dependent upon one's emotional state of mind. This is why a motif can be looked at in so many ways, and this is what makes art so interesting.
Edvard Munch
Image
When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.
Edvard Munch
Image
Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?
Edvard Munch
Image
The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men.
Edvard Munch
Image
Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
Edvard Munch
Image
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.

In my childhood I always felt that I was treated unjustly, without a mother, sick, and with the threat of punishment in Hell hanging over my head
Edvard Munch
Image
To die is as if one's eyes had been put out and one cannot see anything any more. Perhaps it is like being shut in a cellar. One is abandoned by all. They have slammed the door and are gone. One does not see anything and notices only the damp smell of putrefaction.
Edvard Munch
Image
At different moments you see with different eyes. You see differently in the morning than you do in the evening. In addition, how you see is also dependent on your emotional state. Because of this, a motif can be seen in many different ways, and this is what makes art interesting.
Edvard Munch
Image
I learned early about the misery and dangers of life, and about the afterlife, about the external punishment which awaited the children of sin in Hell.
Edvard Munch
Image
It is better to have a good painting with ten holes than ten bad paintings without any holes.
Edvard Munch
Image
I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw.
Edvard Munch
Image
My breakthrough came very late in life, really only starting when I was 50...I had the strength for new deeds and ideas.
Edvard Munch
Image
I have been given a unique role to play on this earth: given to me by a life filled with sickness, ill-starred circumstances and my profession as an artist. It is a life that contains nothing that resembles happiness, and moreover does not even desire happiness.
