("Close your bodily eye, so that you may see your picture first with the spiritual eye. Then bring to the light of day that which you have seen in the darkness so that it may react upon others from the outside inwards. A picture must not be invented but felt. Observe the form exactly, both the smallest and the large and do not separate the small from the large, but rather the trivial from the important.")

"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity."
"Aus meinem verwesenden Körper sollen Blumen wachsen, und ich bin in ihnen und das ist Ewigkeit."

"One night I was walking along a lane, on one side stood the town and underneath the Fjord, I was tired and sick. I stopped to look beyond the fjord — the sun was getting down — the clouds were tinged with a blood-red, I heard a cry to cross Nature: I almost thought of hearing it. I painted this picture, I painted the clouds like true blood. Colours were crying"

"Für einen Künstler ist es vor allem gefährlich, gelobt zu werden."
Edvard Munch (1863-1944)
