Exploring the Mind of Edvard Munch; a Journey into Angst and Expressionism - Art History School

[@ericgoodhew4989]

What a brilliant imformative story of a great artist. Im 85 years old and live in New Zealand, at age 83 during the Covid lockdown thought to my self "Why dont I pick up a brush and paint". It has bought a whole new meaning to my life and I love researching famous artist. In NZ we have a local icon who was also tormented , his paintings frowned upon , but now is the most collectable artist in NZ. Im going to lay down some paint and pay my respects to Edvard. Thank you so much

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I bet you have created some wonderful paintings - good luck to you. Cheers

[@stevewithers5317]

Hi Eric, thank you for sharing. I'm 56 and thinking I'm too late in life to start being an artist. You're an inspiration and I hope knowing that you've inspired this one guy in the UK brings you some happiness. My father is 85 and also called Eric is depressed at not being a builder any more. I will share your story and try to inspire him to take up some new activity. Happy 2023 to you Eric. Steve

You are very welcome

He was so afraid of death and yet he died in his sleep. He was terrified of falling mentally ill, yet he was consumed with crippling anxiety and sadness. What a gift to see the world through his eyes, yet it's hard to no feel empathy for the human being suffering behind the canvas.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Interesting summary

[@driesketels]

This is why I love this century so mu(n)ch. Great channels talking about master painters like E. Munch, in high quality video format, delivered to your doorstep for free on KZbin.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Really pleased you like my videos. Cheers Paul

There are somethings he cannot discuss or does not know. Some hidden symbols in the work and a couple of other things about his life.

I Made One animation about The scream on my channel!

We love it too

[@ArtCurator2020]

Dear Dries Ketells: There is NOTHING For Free on KZbin KZbin unwittingly Brainwashes you 24/7/365. That is the Hidden Cost of your Learning on KZbin. The fact that you think that KZbin Does NOT Brainwash you just tells me how well it is working. You are a SLAVE To The Grid, until you yourself pull the (umbilical) cord. True Art only begins THEN !!!

[@midnightcat6116]

I can relate so much to Munch 😢 Both my parents died so young and so many folks in my life have passed away from suicide or accidents. I don’t know why life has been so difficult but art keeps me occupied and helps to escape

[@ArtHistorySchool]

That sounds tough, glad art provides some comfort

[@fattyacid11]

I have had a similar experience. Art is, and has been a valuable exercise in coping with life. His life is inspiring, because his work is interesting.

[@brigidspencer5123]

Love this biography. In order to destigmatize mental illness using terms like depression, addiction is better than using insane, mental issues, etc., with all the painful losses in his family it's not surprising that some of the family members had extreme grief reactions.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Agree about terminology

[@ArtByHazel]

Thank you for this short yet packed information about the amazing masters before us. Life is filled with tragedy, suffering, joy, peace, and that's what makes it interesting. I love how artists are so connected to their senses when they paint.

Many thanks. Cheers

[@joycepetrina2791]

[@Jeaniesunshine-fb5rk]

I was 4 when he passed. I will be 80 Ju l y 2020. I am a loner. Since my Only son died I havnt been able to paint. I don't feel so odd now. Thanks.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Maybe, after seeing how he coped you may be able to pick up a paint brush again. I'm sure your son would think that was brilliant.

[@johannae1180]

Jeanieart1940 Kowatsch My son also died 16 years ago this month, I’m watching art programs so I can find the courage to also paint again, why don’t do we do this together? We can do it for our sons because we love them so 💚 love lots xxx

[@ArtHistorySchool]

He was a great painter, that's for sure.

[@ejt321]

I'm rather surprised that I doubt I ever really saw any of his paintings other than the scream. I'm really pleased to see more of his works, and I'd like most of them a great deal.

[@iwatchedthevideo7115]

Norwegian here. Apart from the wrong pernounciation of his name, this is a great and must see rundown of what I consider the most important Norwegian artist ever - if not one of the most important in the world. I lived in Oslo for 20 years, and the thing I miss most living outside now, is going to the Munch Museum. His works will never cease to amaze or make me speachless.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

As I mentioned on a previous comment I normally pronounce Munch's name correctly but was persuaded by a friend who'd been to Norway that it was pronounced differently. My mistake. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, he's one of my favourite artists because he deals with the frailties, hopes, dreams and disasters of life. Not many artists are capable of that. Cheers Paul

[@doncarlodivargas5497]

More important than Knut Hamsun?

[@arianaothon674]

I've always considered Munch to be one of my fav painters, mainly because looking at his work helped me step out of my comfort zone as an artist (who mainly just did sketches and colored pencil drawings) and made me experiment with more mixed media in art. In my sophomore year of HS, I actually recreated a couple of his paintings for some art class assignment ("Four Girls in Åsgårdstrand" and "Love and Pain") and I got a perfect score.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

He was a great painter, it's good you get a 'perfect' score.

[@lysabromaroff5039]

The take-away... The man who painted 'the scream' died peacefully in his sleep.

@@ArtHistorySchool I'm not one of those who solely promote STEM or the trades. Every child should have art and literature appreciation as part of their education. The old-fashioned liberal arts are essential for being human and humane. Dump that, languages and history and you end up where we are now. Jabbed zombies, herded and culled.

Wonderful. Thank you for presenting the breadth and depth of his life and work with sensitivity and insight including locating him within the contexts of geography, history, and personal history. His depictions of of illness, dying, and death and the suffering of those who live it and accompany it ring true from my perspective in a hospital and are enriched and enlivened by your commentary. Well done to Munch and to you.

[@andrewfrost8866]

It's interesting that with many of the more famous artists that they start with mainstream, safe and comfortable imagery, and over time, grow and experiment with their images descending into abstract chaos and rawness. They all seem to have shattered lives one way or another, and experience life struggles many wouldn't have been able to hide from, let alone embrace and derive power and direction from.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I think many artists start by working in the mainstream as you say, but they soon find that great art explores the human condition in all its variations. Creativity is very demanding and some can't cope, but in many ways the great art of the world explores the depths of the human mind. This exploration probably keeps them sane.

I really did enjoy this biography of Munch. Someone on Twitter mentioned it was his birthday and having heard of Munch's art and his well known, The Scream, I searched to find more out about him. Learned so much about his sad life but also laughed at the man being pursued by Tula for all those years and even changing his address to hide from her. How he described her kiss as like kissing a corpse really made me laugh but I have to wonder if he wasn't made as a child to kiss his dead mother's lips and thus actually knew what that sensation was like. Am now subscribed to your KZbin videos as have taken many art classes and enjoy learning about different artists. Do you know of Guy Rose, a California artist who did travel to France during his career with the influence of the French Impressionists. You may wish to do a video about him in the future. I've seen some of Rose's original paintings in the Oakland Gallery, near San Francisco and each one was valued at over $4 million dollars. Look forward to finding out about other artists with your videos. Thank you for this one. Sent from Vancouver, Canada. BTW: Happy Holidays to you (the narrator) and your assistants and crew.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you for your kind comments. I am afraid I have not heard of Guy Rose, I'll look him up. By the way I do not have any assistants or crew, I'm a one man band.

No excuse for such a gross mispronunciation. It undermines your credibility.

[@John-pp2jr]

Good film ruined by ridiculous pronunciation of Munch.

[@giannabella9183]

Yes of course the pronunciation in Norway is different. But some of the commenters are being rude and that's not necessary. This is still a lovely art history presentation and I'm grateful to see it. Thank you for being kind

[@erminiaseverino7974]

Thank you! It‘s a pleasure listening to you

[@ArtHistorySchool]

[@falameyers6396]

I really enjoy your lectures on so many famous artists. You make it very interesting and informative. Thanks

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you like them! Cheers

[@lynnharper4422]

Marvellous video. Even when I have seen more of the artist's work and read about about their work and life, as with Munch, I see and learn so much more.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you really pleased you enjoyed the video.

[@haley193201]

Wonderful and accurate production!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rachelled6763]

I enjoyed your insights into Edvard Munch very much. He is one of my favourite artists and I respect him as a pioneer of Expressionism. I just wanted to mention his name is pronounced 'Moonc' the 'h' is silent.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Cheers

[@jackieemery7082]

Very interesting. Was recently in Oslo, and visited the new Munch Museum in the downtown of the city. Saw many of the works in this video. Such a sad life, it is reflected in his work. I hadn’t been familiar with his work, except for “The Scream” before going to the museum. The video was most informative.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I haven't been there, maybe one day. Glad you liked the video. Cheers

[@littlefeatherstudio]

Love all of your videos. Learned so much about the biography of these famous artists! Keep up the good work!!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

[@shivaasrari8854]

Another great video. I saw that scream 😱 picture many times but didn’t know the story behind it. Love your videos.I feel i am in art history class ,learning a lot without any stress. Thank you so much 😊 Thank you so much.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

You are very welcome. Cheers

[@karenhodges7545]

Munsch and I have the same birthday. Thanks for pointing out his use of complementary colors Thank you for an interesting video with plenty of facts and examples of his wotk

[@ArtHistorySchool]

You are so welcome!

[@garyrobinson8665]

Wow I was only familiar with the scream. I haven't seen any of his other works till now. Lots of amazing paintings here. I'm going to look into him a lot more now thank you.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

That's wonderful, he's a great artist.

[@Bonita.ch1]

Art has become less about skill and more about...emotion. i personality i don't care about feelings. If like to see art for what it truly is... SKILL and TALENT . Bring that back!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

It would be interesting to hear how you define talent. I disagree with you, emotion, feeling, passion are part of being a human. Art devoid of humanity and based solely on skill is a barren place indeed. Where is the art in a hyper realistic drawing that looks indistinguishable from every other hyper realistic drawing? All skill and no creativity!

[@mS-iz9np]

Amazing all the documentaries, thank you and more more

[@ArtHistorySchool]

More to come! Cheers

[@susanschaffner4422]

Very good presentation. Thank you.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

You are welcome!

[@julie5668]

Very interesting. I wanted to tape this on Sky Arts recently, but it didn't come out, hence, I am here. Thank you.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

You're very welcome

[@thomashverring9484]

Excellent video. I was shocked to hear your pronunciation of his last name and subsequently horrified to find out that that it is indeed the correct pronunciation in English! 😅 In the Scandinavian countries, and also Germany, Munch is pronounced similar to munk. However, the u sounds like the o in lope just shortened. And now I come think of it-I'm sure you already knew this! Keep up the good work!

[@thomashverring9484]

Oh, snap! You say Munk at 8:45! Ha, great :^)

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Cheers

[@patrickhicks9880]

they always go on about the tragedy but those paintings are fantastic i don't think there's anything tragic about those paintings he was a troubled soul trying to make sense of his life isn't that what everyone does i love his work

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I agree, it is those insights that make him such a great painter.

[@johnjones3714]
