More quotes by Edvard Munch
I felt as if there were invisible threads connecting us - I felt the invisible strands of her hair still winding around me - and thus as she disappeared completely beyond the sea - I still felt it, felt the pain where my heart was bleeding - because the threads could not be severed.
Edvard Munch
When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.
Edvard Munch
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
I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted ... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked.
Edvard Munch
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
Edvard Munch
Without fear and illness, I could never have accomplished all I have
Edvard Munch
The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men.
Edvard Munch
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
Without anxiety and illness I would have been like a ship without a rudder.
Edvard Munch
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.
Edvard Munch
I find it difficult to imagine an afterlife, such as Christians, or at any rate many religious people, conceive it, believing that the conversations with relatives and friends interrupted here on earth will be continued in the hereafter.
Edvard Munch
My art is rooted in a single reflection: why am I not as others are? ... my art gives meaning to my life.
Edvard Munch
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
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
A work of art can only come from the interior of man. Art is the form of the image formed upon the nerves, heart, brain and eye of man.
Edvard Munch
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.
Edvard Munch
There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love.
Edvard Munch
I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw.
Edvard Munch
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
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
