They do not believe that these impressions, these instant sensations, could contain even the smallest grain of sanity. If a tree is red or blue, or a face is blue or green, they are sure that is insanity.

    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.
    Edvard Munch
