“The mystical will always be with us – the more it is discovered, the more inexplicable it will become. The new movement, the signs of whose progress can be detected everywhere, will express all those things that for a generation have been suppressed – the whole of that important mystical facet of human nature. It will give free expression to all those subtle nuances that hitherto have only been hinted at in hypotheses. A whole mass of things that cannot be rationalised – new born thoughts that are still not properly formed.”
Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944), painter, born on this day
