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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

I was walking along a road on...

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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

The camera will never compete...

The camera will never compete with the brush and the palette, until such time as photographs can be taken in Heaven or Hell.

I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

For as long as I can remember...

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

This kind of painting with it...

This kind of painting with its large frames is a bourgeois drawing-room art. It is an art dealer's art-and that came in after the civil wars following the French Revolution.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

The rich man who gives, steal...

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

Edward Munch 29 quotes

In my childhood I always felt...

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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

The notes I have made are not...

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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

From my rotting body, flowers...

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

Anybody who perceives colors ...

Anybody who perceives colors can become a painter. It's simply a question of whether or not one has felt anything and whether one has the courage to recount the things one has felt.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

I was walking down the road w...

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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

My art is rooted in a single ...

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

Edward Munch 29 quotes

I felt as if there were invis...

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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

I was walking along the road ...

I was walking along the road with two friends. The sun set. I felt a tinge of melancholy. Suddenly the sky became a bloody red... I stood there, trembling with fright. And I felt a loud, unending scream piercing nature.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

From the moment of my birth, ...

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.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

Just as Leonardo da Vinci stu...

Just as Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy and dissected corpses, so I try to dissect souls.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

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

Edward Munch 29 quotes

I was walking along a path wi...

I was walking along a path with two friends - the sun was setting - suddenly the sky turned blood red - I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence - there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city - my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety - and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.

Edward Munch 29 quotes

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.
