More quotes by Edvard Munch
Your face encompasses the beauty of the whole earth. Your lips, as red as ripening fruit, gently part as if in pain. It is the smile of a corpse. Now the hand of death touches life. The chain is forged that links the thousand families that are dead to the thousand generations to come.
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
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
Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?
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
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
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
The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church.
Edvard Munch
It is better to have a good painting with ten holes than ten bad paintings without any holes.
Edvard Munch
I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.
Edvard Munch
Youth must go ahead and prosper. These young painters are all very talented people, but they all paint frescoes.
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
Without fear and disease, my life would be like a boat without oars.
Edvard Munch
I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted ... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked.
Edvard Munch
When I paint a person, his enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.
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
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
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
It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it.
