With "Great Art Explained" my aim is to make videos which focus on one great artwork. I want to present art in a jargon-free, entertaining, clear and concise way with no gimmicks.
Between 1863 when Munch was born and the years before the first world war, European cities were going through unprecedented change. Industrialization and economic change brought anxieties and obsessions, political unrest, and radicalism.
Questions about society and the changing role of man within it, about our psyche, our social responsibilities, and most radical of all, questions about the existence of God.
This is a period of Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzche.
This is also the period that Munch painted The Scream.

One of the guys who stole the scream in the 90s (Pål Enger) was a soccerplayer that became so obsessed with the painting that he had to have it. Later when he was caught he became an artist in prison and now has his own artistic career. One of his exhibitions was coshared with another famous norwegian artist Pushwagner (some call him a modern Munch) and on that exhibition he stole some of Pushwagners paintings.

I had a classmate who did most of his paintings on cardboard, and I remember our teacher telling him that he would never be a real artist because real artists don’t use cardboard. I was so mad when, years later, I learned that “The Scream” was painted on cardboard. (That same classmate got into RISD, btw 😄)

@dr.pravinkumarsingh5957 2 года назад

@Alphacentauri819 2 года назад

So crazy that an art teacher would be that way...although I had a critical one too. You'd think they, more than most people, would understand that the very essence of art...is expression, wherever, however, that person chooses in the time. Additionally, so many who are ridiculed, told they couldn't be 'this or that'...often do become exactly what they were told they couldn't be. How arrogant and ignorant, of any of us to decide the outcome of another person. That teacher could've just been quiet, at the very least. I am so happy for your classmate.

Now, I am in the National Museum in Oslo, sitting in front of The Scream while revisiting this video.

@tylerbutler7398 2 года назад

Totally agree! That sudden cut at the end... *Chef's kiss*

@balls261 Год назад

I disagree, the editing is actually pretty awful. The motion of each image is nauseating, there's always half a second pause before any movement, and then when it does it's often too fast and opposite from the previous motion. There isn't a lot of room to breathe. It needs more time for the viewer to take in each painting, and have more of a consistent, rhythmic, cohesive movement. Needs a lot of work.

Such a powerful painting, still relevant today as our lives have not slowed down but sped up instead, where noise, information, and various stimuli constantly assault us. In the uncertain times we live in (war, climate crisis, mass extinction), this piece has never been more relevant. Anyone struggling with mental health can easily relate to Munch's art. Thank you James for your insights. I've never realised how such a small detail as the men in the background affected the painting. By blocking the vanishing point (literally in French the runaway/escaping point), they trap us in the painting and in the foreground character's agony.

@ayanna6327 Год назад

One of my favorite paintings ever. As someone who struggles with anxiety, hearing Munch describing this "scream through nature" is so fascinating. Sometimes anxiety can feel like a scream I have yet to release, and can't and sometimes it feels as if the reality around me is screaming at me. That warped and murky-colored feeling is also present, as sometimes anxiety can suck all of the color out of life, minus the ones that bring you bad moods or fear. I really do love this channel, you really do a great of "demystifying" art. Growing up, these artists and pieces of work were placed on such high pedestals and their talent was so great that I never even thought I could "understand" them, but your videos have been so great in humanizing these artists and their works. They were, at the end of the day, people who had very similar struggles to us all.

@abhishekrath8381 Год назад

The structure of the video itself manages to evoke exactly the same feelings as the painting. The way you were able to convey the essence of The Scream through a completely different medium, was mind-blowing. Grieg's hard-hitting composition perfectly complemented the turbulent scenes of modern urban life in the B&W footages to produce such a jarring, disorienting and unnerving effect that it totally overwhelmed every faculty of mine until I could no longer endure the "scream". I think this is exactly what Munch must have felt- going through personal tragedies and his own mental health issue while struggling against the angst of the rapidly changing world around him and the crises of meaning that it generated. He must have felt an intensely overpowering desire to somehow block, in one stroke, each one of these powerful currents to regain some semblance of respite in his inner self.

I wonder if Munch experienced sensory overload typical of neurodivergent folks. Covering the ears is a common response to sensory overload with autism, for example. Feeling blocked in by the figures at the other end of the bridge, the viewer (“the world” that is always watching and judging) and the overstimulating light and color of the sky. The inhuman form of the figure also makes me think of the experience of dissociating (depersonalization and derealization) - a coping mechanism for longterm exposure to trauma and abuse.

I love how you used the music in this episode, a bit loud for the narration and it really gave me that feeling that Munch was trying to express of anxiety. brilliant, thank you

This painting is one of those images that seems to have existed in my subconscious since before I can even remember. “Starry Night” by Van Gogh is another. The main figure in the painting is so ubiquitous that there is an emoji with it’s likeness and a Halloween mask that was used in the Scream 😱 franchise.
