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
Some colors reconcile themselves to one another, others just clash.
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
Certainly a chair can be just as interesting as a human being. But first the chair must be perceived by a human being... You should not paint the chair, but only what someone has felt about it.
Edvard Munch
The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men.

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 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.
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
The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church.
Edvard Munch
I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.
Edvard Munch
Without anxiety and illness I would have been like a ship without a rudder.
Edvard Munch
When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.
Edvard Munch
It is better to have a good painting with ten holes than ten bad paintings without any holes.
Edvard Munch
When I paint, I never think of selling. People simply fail to understand that we paint in order to experiment and to develop ourselves as we strive for greater heights.
Edvard Munch
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
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
Youth must go ahead and prosper. These young painters are all very talented people, but they all paint frescoes.
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.
