Edvard Munch Quotes

Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul Picture Quote #1

Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life Picture Quote #1

From the moment of my birth, the angels of anxiety, worry, and death stood at my side, followed me out when I played, followed me in the sun of springtime and in the glories of summer. They stood at my side in the evening when I closed my eyes, and intimidated me with death, hell, and eternal damnation Picture Quote #1

When seen as a whole, art derives from a person’s desire to communicate himself to another. I do not believe in an art which is not forced into existence by a human being’s desire to open his heart. all art, literature, and music must be born in your heart’s blood. Art is your heart’s blood Picture Quote #1

Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My art is rooted in a single reflection: why am I not as others are?... my art gives meaning to my life Picture Quote #1

Youth must go ahead and prosper. These young painters are all very talented people, but they all paint frescoes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A person himself believes that all the other portraits are good likenesses except the one of himself Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men Picture Quote #1

The notes I have made are not a diary in the ordinary sense, but partly lengthy records of my spiritual experiences, and partly poems in prose Picture Quote #1

No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I painted the picture, and in the colors the rhythm of the music quivers. I painted the colors I saw Picture Quote #1

I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell Picture Quote #1

If what you want to paint is the emotive mood in all its strength... then you must not sit and stare at everything and depict it exactly as one sees it Picture Quote #1

I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked Picture Quote #1

It would be quite amusing to preach a bit to all those people who for many years now have been looking at our paintings and either laughed or shook their heads reproachfully. They do not believe that these impressions, these instant sensations, could contain even the smallest grain of sanity. If a tree is red or blue, or a face is blue or green, they are sure that is insanity Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I do not believe in the art which is not the compulsive result of man’s urge to open his heart Picture Quote #1

In my art I have tried to explain to myself life and its meaning. I have also tried to help others to clarify their lives Picture Quote #1

I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous infinite scream of nature Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart Picture Quote #1

I was walking along a road one evening – on one side lay the city, and below me was the fjord. The sun went down – the clouds were stained red, as if with blood. I felt as though the whole of nature was screaming – it seemed as though I could hear a scream. I painted that picture, painting the clouds like real blood. The colours screamed Picture Quote #1

There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love Picture Quote #1

The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church Picture Quote #1
