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
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
I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.
Edvard Munch
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
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
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
Some colors reconcile themselves to one another, others just clash.
Edvard Munch
When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.
Edvard Munch
The Academies of Art are nothing but great painting factories - those with talent are fed in at one end, and they come out as mechanical painting machines.
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
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
I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw.
Edvard Munch
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
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
I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted ... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked.
Edvard Munch
It is better to have a good painting with ten holes than ten bad paintings without any holes.
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
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
Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?
