- čas přidán 14. 06. 2024
- Edvard Munch biography: This video discusses the life and times of the Norwegian expressionist artist Edvard Munch. Death, love and angst are prominent themes he explored through out his life. The famous artist Edvard Munch was born in Loten in Norway, but lost his mother and sister at a young age.
Edvard Munch is perhaps most famous for his paintings, The Scream, Death in the Sick Room, but his series of paintings, The Frieze of Life contains many remarkable paintings such as the Dance of Life. Munch suffered from bouts of mental illness and alcoholism, both issues are often reflected in his work. He also did a series of paintings for Oslo University, in Norway and for the Freia Chocolate Factory also in Oslo. The latter years of his life were spent in his estate at Ekely, Norway painting many self portraits which explored the effects of old age. Edvard Munch died in 1944 at the age of 80.

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

All the best all of you gentleman !
Love you, Kiwis. ❤❤
And this is how I passed my Art History exam. Thank you so "munch"!
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.
Interesting summary
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 CZcams.
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
Dear Dries Ketells: There is NOTHING For Free on CZcams
CZcams unwittingly Brainwashes you 24/7/365.
That is the Hidden Cost of your Learning on CZcams.
The fact that you think that CZcams 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 !!!
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
That sounds tough, glad art provides some comfort
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.
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.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Agree about terminology
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.
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.
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
I'm terribly sorry for your loss. However I must say, I find it absolutely inspiring to see you offer your love and support to someone in a similar position to you. Hope you both find your way back to the canvas, and that your artistic voices will ring clearer than ever.
I feel so bad for you You are a very good man God bless you 🙏
Jeanie get back to the fundamentals. You can paint.
That sun picture is magnificent
It's wonderful isn't it. Cheers Paul
Yes we loved that too!
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
Thank you so much for this.
You did an amazing job!
Munch was such a prolific artist! Are there any photos of his sculptures? I’m an amateur painter and sculptor and I love learning about other artist.
I spent quite sometime looking for art history channels on youtube, finally found a really good one. Cheers from brazil
Wow, thanks! Cheers from England
Check out the National Gallery channel. The lectures are SPECTACULAR!!!.
В настройках искал, но перевод на русский отсутствует.
The take-away...
The man who painted 'the scream' died peacefully in his sleep.
Lucky fella
Amazing point about anxiety!
Certainly is fortunate to have passed that way.
Thank you Paul Priestley. I like to know these artists without spending days reading a book. This suits me perfectly. Great images.
That's great, really pleased you enjoy my videos. Cheers
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.
Yes, he did produce some amazing paintings during his life. Glad you like them.
The best art - history channel online! Thank you very much!
Wow, thank you!
This is my favourite channel ever where I visit everyday. And also I get inspired. Salute to this channel
Thank you so much 😀
Having been to the new Munch Museum in Oslo this week, I felt heavily inspired and moved by Munch's work. Wish I could go back already! Thank you so much for this video biography!
I've not been to the new Munch museum, hopefully one day.
Thank you Paul . Love these documentaries . Really put the work into context
Really pleased you are enjoying the videos. Cheers Paul
What a legacy Munch left to Norway and to the world picturing the dramas of his existence. Thank you!
He certainly did produce some wonderful works, glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers
Thank you! I saw a lot of his paintings in 2017 at the VMFA. The exhibit was with Jasper John and it had to do with life and aging. It was very inspiring!
He was a great painter, that's for sure.
Lucky you!
Those early paintings are astounding.
They certainly are
Munch is my favorite artist. Thank you so much for this amazing video ❤️
My pleasure 😊
Living your videos first class. Poor Edward he suffered such losses of his nearest and dearest.
Thank you, Yes, he did have a tough life.
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.
Thank you for your kind comment. Great artists have the ability to connect and give us insights in the the human condition in all its forms. Munch was a genius.
This was so fun as are all your videos. Thank you so much for these!!! I really feel inspired by your enthusiasm and work! I could just give you a big hug!
Thank you so much. Cosmic hugs to you too. Cheers

You, sir, are a wonderful teacher and narrator. You made Edvard come alive and provided depth to these 2-D images. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! Cheers
@@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. I'm so sorry for what's happening in England now. Where's Alfred, or even Canute, when you need them! Thanks, friend.
Great information. Extremely insightful and rewarding
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
what a fascinating artist he was. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you
My pleasure! Cheers
Great video! Thank you for making

Superb Dokumentory, bringing his works and life togeather. Highly inspirational and educational !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good presentation. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Love learning about lives of artists, so really enjoying your videos.
Awesome, thank you!
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.
He was a great painter, it's good you get a 'perfect' score.
Thank you.showed more about Munch than we learned at ubnivrsity. I loved your presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Pain and anguish are not desired catalysts for anything. But, for great, moving and abundant art, well...
I remember as a young child seeing The Scream. It moved me. It still does.
He was a great painter of feeling and emotion. Cheers
Wonderful documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Excellent video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
A lot of suffer and pain are in his art he was a great artist
He was indeed.
Wow fabulous presentation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent storytelling by host! Thank you! Loved it.♥️♥️♥️
Thank you
Thank you this analysis and history is excellent, I so enjoy your art history talks!
That's great, thank you.
I really learnt a lot about Munch from this video, I recently read a book by Karl One Knausgaard about Munch (and the author ) but this concise video was an excellent history and the paintings appearance and illustrations add so much, many thanks
Really pleased you enjoyed my video. Cheers Paul

This is wonderful. When I lived in New York I was privileged to see some of the greatest paintings of the 19th and 20th centuries, and some of them were Munch's. The size and blazing colors belie the themes of some paintings. A very interesting artist. Thank you.
You are very welcome. Thanks
wow ! i thought i knew M. Munch but the video really revealed an amazing life and a great artist. Thank you sir.
You are welcome
Thank you for the knowledge and the great music.

What a beautiful video and paintings from Munch. I now do not understand how come my Art teacher did not emphasize on more works from munch into class. This man was genius! Beautiful paintings! Specially those about the moonlight ... first time seen I wanted to cry!
