Edvard Munch, n.All

Edvard Munch is a painter who, when he paints a person, that person's enemies always find the portrait a good likeness.

Edvard Munch is one who does not depict everything exactly as he sees it, but rather paints the emotive mood in all its strength.

Edvard Munch is, like Michelangelo and Rembrandt, more interested in the line, its rise and fall, than in color.

Edvard Munch is an artist whose work is rooted in a single reflection: why am I not as others are? ... my art gives meaning to my life.

Edvard Munch is one who, painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood, was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.
