Frieze Quotations
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.
Edvard Munch
It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it.
Edvard Munch
I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available.
Edvard Munch
