Works of the painter Munch: Scream

Edward Munch (1863-1944) the great Norwegian painter, a pioneer in the modern expressionist painting.

Edward Munch (1863-1944) is a Norwegian artist of world reputation, expressionist pioneer of western painting. His portrait painting grief with a strong subjective and depressed mood. Picasso, Matisse, had absorbed his art nutrients, some of the artists from Germany and France got inspiration from his works.

It has been found in the painting, the schizophrenia can evoke the artistic vitality of those with nohuman accomplishment, and sometimes can increase the creativity of established artists. One writer once said: "Sometimes I wonder, how all those who do not write, compose or paint do to escape the madness, depression, panic which always exist in the human situation." This portrait painting treatment was well performed by the father of the Expressionist paintings Munch Edward ?

Munch was born in a family of intellectuals in Norway in 1863. Father was a knowledgeable, experience-rich Medical, mother received a good art education. at his 5 years old, his mother suffered from tuberculosis and died and five siblings were raised by the aunt . After the death of his mother, father was sad and did not go out of the house for a couple of days, his depressed nerves strongly infected Munch who lost his mother, which was the first time in his life he felt the terror of death. When Munch was 13 years old, two years older sister also died due to lung disease.

Munch had a good relationship with his sister, they had deep friendship. Her death spurred again Munch's nerves. Then his sister was also suffering from schizophrenia. This series of pain caused by blows, deep into the inner heart of Munch, determined the character of Munch and his creation in his half early years . From his portrait painting "sick child", "mother’s death " and "spiritual bedside" and other works, we can clearly see this. Especially after his father died in 1889, his spirit was not sustenance, character became depressed and withdrawn. Loneliness, despair, death , such feeling deeply troubled young Munch, and had reach the extent of non-expression. He wanted to cry, he wanted to draw a living people, and their breathing, feeling and suffering. During this period, he painted his most important work, "Scream." The picture described a baby-shaped little one ran from the bridge wit the mouth opened, the far vision of the Gulf and the sunset scene. The sky liked a rolling wave of blood red, it felt tremors and terror, as if the whole nature was bleeding. Later, Munch said in talking about this painting: "I and two friends walked together, the sun gone, the sky became red like blood, I suddenly was listless, extreme fatigue and stop pacing, the dark strait and the road showed the same light tongue as blood and fire. Friends were walking, I stopped to tremble by myself because of unrest there , I felt a strong cry of nature.

"Munch's portrait painting " The Scream "and all of his works were drawn only through their own experience, he did not do art for art, he expressed only about his own depression and anxiety. This was his driving force of creation stands. Munch opened its own claustrophobic passages by creating and unconsciously revealed their unconscious feelings, making the great spiritual energy in heart vent. As Freud believed dreams can ease the tension in a way as to achieve a more peaceful state by expressing feelings through art. If not through the a large number of creation to express themselves, then he might like his sister had a nervous breakdown prematurely earlier.

Unfortunately, Munch finally suffered schizophrenia in 1908, and in schizophrenia, his spirit had received the most complete relief. back after treatment to Norway from Copenhagen in Denmark, hestill insisted on creating with very high enthusiasm, he lectured for the University of Oslo, the huge murally created radiant "Sun", also painted a number of portrait paintings such as "Snow go home" and "workers to go home" and other natural landscape, but his works expressed was the incidence and completely different from before, the work became bright, quiet and rich philosophy , which art historians called "the second period." we can only conclude from works of this period that the pain and conflict inside Munch have been released without a trace.

British artist-Constable Bull's landscape painti

British artist-Constable Bull's landscape paintings(B)

1. Record the changes in atmospheric and lighting

Different from the previous painter, Constable Boer very like to show the sunlight and the atmospheric conditions in his portrait painting . He ever wrote in his collection "the British landscape " like this:"record the trace of light and shadow, not only to draw the blur sights down, but also that day, that moment's light and shadow...grab the beautiful moment from the fleeting time and then turn it into an eternal image." Surprisingly, this creative intentions of "grab the moment" was almost same as the impressionist painters who show up 50 years later. same as these painters, Constable Boer not mark a specific location, but in a particular time of day to differentiate their many paintings. For example, the "Hay Wain" was originally based on "Landscape: Noon"(Landscape: Noon) for the title at the Royal Academy exhibition on display.

But compared to these "post-impressionist" painters, there's one big difference, that is the weather conditions in his paintings mostly convey the performance of various mood. This situations particularly evident in his late-age paintings. As Constable Boer's world-weary thoughts become more and more intense, thus create a group of desolate gray landscapes. "even the weak sun can i not see, so what 's the incredible when i paint the endless storm "he said once to his friend.

2. Pour the emotion into the scenery

In Constable's portrait painting , appears some emotional expression, maybe this is opposite to his naturalistic mind. however, he's always remembered that he should draw the light and atmosphere in his painting. In the beginning of 19th century, he came into careful observation and create a lot artworks regarding the"cloud". many people agreed with Constable's realism style and Henry • Sri once(Constable's friend and also a painter) joked:"I like Constable's landscapes, beautiful colors and the light always appear in the most appropriate place, it usually makes me want to enter this situation". However, some people, who ever financed him, have a different feelings. Pope ever asked Constable to draw a picture for the church he worked for. Constable drawed a picture, which shows the clouds covering the horizon. Although the bishop not satisfied, but he very politely suggested to him that he preferred the clear sky. So the two sides compromise lastly, Constable Boer changed the background of the church to a clear clouds, retaining only about the scene when it rains.

3. Show the Light reflection through the bold colour

In order to describe the scenery of nature, Constable use the white colour and light lines paint the sun in the humid forests of deep reflection flickering light. Sometimes he will add some bright red on the green part, so that the overall tone is more rich and bright.

But this technic which applied in Constable's portrait painting caused many critics' anger. They all view these white spots as "snowflakes. "What is more, some people criticized his paintings because of these white points, as always failed, for an exhibition on display in the works, is simply a great defect. One commentator likened to that effect, "even after the premises covered remnants of the tripod. " He further said: "Constable Boer is deliberately similar to the natural landscape, coupled with a few strokes to be more like it. In order to hide the traces of man's efforts, it seems no different. "

However, just because of these innovative techniques, Constable Boer's paintings were so attractive when they exhibited in France, but also produce a profound impact on subsequent generations of artists.
