their developing theme,
:33:44
for now he is planning,
:33:46
and working on,
:33:47
a whole cycle of paintings
that will link together,
:33:52
a Frieze of Life,
as Munch calls it,
:33:55
to unfold the very meaning
:33:58
of nature and existence.

the Norwegians and the Germans:
:34:27
"Some of the pictures
are shockingly bad.
:34:30
"There is little hope that
the artist's talent will develop."
:34:34

:34:38
"The disease is almost
certainly incurable."
