Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life. – 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
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. – Edvard Munch
