blossom of pain, 1898
this motif was first used as the frontispiece for an issue of the german periodical quickborn, with texts by august strindberg and illustrations by munch. the man bears munch´s features, and is the closest one gets to an artistic credo in his work. Art is created from the lifeblood of the artist, like the beautiful flower which shoots up from the earth next to the suffering man.
