I love this piece so much.I think it's more iconic than the Mona Lisa.But I must say, there is nothing I find more haunting than Goya's paintings. I wish I could unsee them.

I believe that some of Francis Bacon's paintings had a lot of terror and human dispair too. I'd love to watch a video of Francis Bacon from you, guys! Loved the video! Really interesting. Thanks a lot 😄😄

Thank you for this idea, we will consider! I am personally a huge fan of Bacon, so will add this to our content plan 🙏🏻 Tanya from CM

It is sort of strange that famous artists and famous masterpieces of them only get noticed after like 130 years..

this painting used to be on display in the city where I worked. I would walk passed it frequently. I thought nothing of it. Recently I saw it again. I suggest it should be interpretted as a murder confession.

Why do you think so? 🤔

@@CuriousMuse I guess I suddenly saw the figures in the back ground as investigators pulling something out of the river. the reaction of the figure in the foreground does not seem to be emotional. given the color choices, I would conjecture that those colors represent insanity and guilt.

I love also that it's sky is a depiction of a volcanic sunset, the eruption of krakatoa, pushing ash and fire into the sky as the sun sets behind it, retracting its wavering light into vibrant, violent explosion of orange and red. To me this painting is like watching the confrontation of one's own personal existential stress and anxiety meeting face to face with the incomprehensible, inescapable bellow of nature doing the same, aware or not, we and nature are alive, and screaming.

Thank you very much! This was a great video. I think that the music throughout the video could be lowered a little, however. The speaker has a great voice that’s being overshadowed to a degree. Keep it up!

Some three decades ago, the centre portion of a bridge in Seoul collapsed, leaving 32 people dead. I was so horrified by the news that I could hardly cross any bridge for a while after that because my legs were always shaking whenever I tried to cross a bridge. 😱😭 The skull-resembling figure in this video may be a similar representation of how I felt at the time, engulfed by fear and anxiety.💀

I like the scream. I think it still shows horror. I think various other artists and a few of my own pieces show the horror of the human condition better.

That's a believable and very humble statement.. not to brag but I have made a few tunes on a ukulele in my mom's basement that are objectively better than Beethoven's 5th symphony.. So I guess we're both geniuses @catlilly

@@haakonrem I do think mine are better than the scream. Maybe no one else would agree. But art is subjective. I don't believe I am better than most artists. Just that one piece.

Awesome mini documentary. I think Munch had demons he was certainly confronting...That's a lonely place to be. Created in 1893 though it certainly helps pave the way towards the surrealists & abstract expressionism. Warhol was a commentator nothing more. That was his claim to fame? The genius of Munch & other expressionists of his day was honesty, pure emotion, & a disregard of social repercussions. Brilliant! Thanks for another great video.

@micksilva6028 Жыл бұрын

Edvard's painting 'The Scream' wasn't one of "demons he was certainly confronting", the volcano Krakatoa in Indonesia had blown up and the gases and dust that filled the entire planet was why the sky over Christiania (now Oslo) was red. This is why Munch was filled with fear, horror, and anxiety. The entire world was shocked at the devastation Krakatoa caused.

There's a theory that the sky was inspired by a real weather phenomenon tho

so, Warhol was seeking to desecrate and satirise the painting by turning it into a massproduced item... a painting which the artist himself "massproduced" by painting and selling several versions of... lost the plot a bit there, didnt you Warhol
