I will have to seek out some less illustrious subjects in order to return to the drainage channels where it belongs. I know my place.....JENNY I assume she passed. Having met you I can confirm that you are somewhat better looking than the strange person in Munch's painting.<br />ELIZABETH - You have taught me something. I wasn't aware that Ibsen and Munch were associates as the former was so much older than the latter. However, population-wise Norway was and remains a "small" country and so I guess that intellectual birds of a feather would have flocked together.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-51605310974967082852010-02-28T09:37:39.154+00:002010-02-28T09:37:39.154+00:00Thanks for that,YP.
Yes, I think that you are righ...Thanks for that,YP.<br />Yes, I think that you are right; Munch used his art work in very much the same way as Ibsen used the written word and 'spoke' from the depths of his experience - the bereavements he had in his early life,alone, were more than many can cope with. He himself said,"We want more than a mere photograph of nature. We do not want to paint pretty pictures to be hung on drawing-room walls. We want to create, or at least lay the foundations of, an art that gives something to humanity. An art that arrests and engages. An art created of one's innermost heart."<br />Had he not had the personal catharsis of creating the 'frieze of life' pictures and the man-destroying vampire that others saw as so objectionable, he may not have found the strength to move on to the more uplifting 'Dance of Life'.<br />The friendship between him and Ibsen must have been something to behold - did he not even paint some of the sets for Ibsen's plays? xElizabethhttp://www.stanforth-sharpe.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77249994281121033112010-02-28T09:08:16.940+00:002010-02-28T09:08:16.940+00:00On a more superficial level, I used to feel like t...On a more superficial level, I used to feel like the model for that painting whenever I took Elder Daughter out on driving practice. ;)Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-75187487003303104622010-02-28T02:59:58.253+00:002010-02-28T02:59:58.253+00:00Most students these days would no more about '...Most students these days would no more about 'The Scream' student theme pubs rather than the painting I imagine...<br /><br />...including the Art students...Bangkok Boothyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254842147773311112noreply@blogger.com
