Edvard Munch Quote


"My troubles are a part of me and my art. They are indistinguishable from me, and treatment would destroy my art. I want to keep those sufferings".

....These very "sufferings", we might remind ourselves, were responsible for one of the most iconic images of the twentieth century---of a man in a psychotic era that he could only scream a psychotic response to it.

Ryszard

How wrong I was, if it's not mentioned by you I thought 'The Scream' was the master piece of Vincent Van Gogh.

Goannaoil, I went to Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam and saw the picture he painted himself after cutting his ear off. He looked rather calm.

Yes I agree totally how 'suffering' trigger creativity. When I look back all my creativities over the years, mostly came alive when I was in an unstable and darker space in my life. Perhaps, that's how to activate the creative brain cells.

It was sad to see his actual painting in real and felt his sadness especially reading the story behinds each of his paintings. Expressionism making it very popular even now.
