From "Munch: In His Own Words" by Poul Erik Tojner.
"An artwork is a crystal. A crystal has a soul and a mind, and the artwork must also have these. It is not enough for an artwork to have correct angles and lines.
This idea of an artwork having its own soul, is very intriguing to me. To many people get hooked on the technical stuff, the lighting, the composition etc. The Soul? What is the soul of the work? Does it have a soul? That seems to me the main goal of any artwork, give it life, give it a soul. Let it reach beyond the norm, into the extraordinary.
