«Внутренний сад»
Иногда земля хранит больше памяти, чем люди.
Старые домики, родные воздушные линии, опоры - всё это кажется заброшенным и почти бессловесным. Но под слоем тлена и пыли продолжает существовать другой мир: дикий, цветущий, упрямо живой.

Мне хотелось соединить ускользающий пейзаж старой Астрахани с внутренним садом памяти - местом, которое невозможно уничтожить полностью.

Vaudeville Act (Quappi), Max Beckmann, 1937

I just read that his wife's name was Quappi and that she was a violinist. I don't know if there's context about this painting that would be available to someone with more knowledge about the painter.

I think it's amazing with the weird little masked face over the shoulder of the woman, if taken out of context of a vaudeville act it seems like the woman is the face of something more sinister, like she is being operated from behind or that she is a demon that represents itself as a lovely woman, a musician. Or maybe something simpler, like part of the act is an impish surprise.

Either way I love the feel of it, all of his paintings have this weird twisted feel 💀 👻 🤣

"Still Life with Fish Bowl," Paula Modersohn-Becker, c. 1906.

Considered one of the most important early Expressionists, Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) is considered the first female Western artist to do nude self-portraits, and the first woman artist to have a museum dedicated solely to her works.

Brought up by a cultured family, she learned to draw early and began formal art lessons at 16, when she also set up her first studio. She moved to Paris in 1900, and there married Otto Modersohn. The marriage was turbulent, though, with her realizing that she yearned for independence. It was an intensely creative time for her, though, and she completed many works. Sadly, she died of a postpartum thrombosis in 1907, only 31.

A museum of her works opened in 1927 in Bremen but the Third Reich ruled her work "degenerate" and some works were seemingly destroyed. After WWII her daughter Mathilde started a foundation in her mother's name and a new museum established.

All Hail Alfred Kubin’s Rather Macabre Art ⬛

A BLEAK TOPIC TODAY! Don’t worry, though, there’s an upbeat post tomorrow.

Some artists have an uncanny ability to make paintings hellish disturbing. You think of Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son and you’re along the right lines.

Then there’s the case of Austrain artist Alfred Kubin (1877-1959). Very big on Expressionism and Symbolism, tragic early life experiences shape the disturbed, bleak, fearful, terrifying nature of his artistic work. That’s what we’re exploring across his largely black and white hellscapes.

The Gloriously Disturbed Artwork of Alfred Kubin

Kubin’s life was dominated by the death of his mother, which occurred in May 1887 when he was 10. She died of tuberculosis, which was deeply traumatic for the young Kubin.

Her death massively influenced the morbid themes he’d explore creatively for the next 70 years, including the one and only novel he wrote called The Other Side (1909). This book influenced Franz Kafka and other writers such as author and WWI memoirist Ernst Jünger. Written after the death of his father, a brief excerpt below highlights where Kubin’s frame of mind was often at:

“I had a black coffee and came to the conclusion I was fit for neither life nor suicide. ‘I’ll just vegetate somewhere between the two, waiting for the final blow like an ox at the slaughterhouse. It won’t be long coming.”

Suffering from anxiety and severe depression, in 1896 he attempted suicide at the site of his mother’s grave. His rusty pistol didn’t fire, so he decided to try and impress his strict gather. Kubin went into the Austrian army, which resulted in a nervous breakdown after 18 days.

A very personal demise was on his mind, but his creative efforts hadn’t shaped his deathly obsession. A few more disastrous life experiences would occur before helping him shape imagery like The Hour of Death.

His father sent him off to a private art academy after that, realising his son’s efforts were better suited in creative environments. He went to study at Munich Academy of Art in 1899. He later noted:

“Here a new art was thrown open to me, which offered free play for the imaginative expression of every conceivable world of feeling. Before putting the engravings away, I swore that I would dedicate my life to the creation of similar works.”

He was inspired by Edvard Munch, Odilon Redon, and Max Klinger. It was the latter’s work that inspired in Kubin:

“A torrent of black-and-white images.”

With further inspiration from philosophical geniuses Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Kubin was all set to start scaring the living bejeezus out of everyone with stuff like this.

Kubin was stunningly prolific, creating over 3,400 pieces across his life.

He perfectly fits the concept of a tortured artistic genius withdrawn from society. From 1906 onward, he had an isolated existence living in a 12th century estate in Zwickledt, Austria. When the Nazis annexed the country in March 1938, his work was declared Entartete Kunst (meaning “degenerate art”) by the Nazi Party.

It’s interesting Hitler, Goebbels and his cronies looked at this stuff and got upset. Given a lot of these images would be fitting symbolism for what the political party would go on to do.

He was successful during his lifetime, winning various awards and holding exhibitions across Europe.

But his work circa 1900 certainly shows a tormented mind, one entirely preoccupied with death. Despite his early life issues, Kubin lived through two World Wars and right up to the age of 82. But this excerpt from his one and only book again hints at how he muddled through it all with poor mental health:

“When it comes down to it, no one can deny their own temperament, it will always determine everything you do. In mine, a decidedly melancholy one, pleasure and misery lie quite close together. I have always been subject to the most abrupt changes of mood. This particular disposition, a psychological legacy from my mother, has been the source of both great joy and bitter torment.”

I painted these trees on a used pizza box the other day.
I have a deep love for trees. Just like people, trees have an invisible yet vital part: their roots. For us, this translates to our history and our psyche. If we are not properly grounded, we fall over.

The roots are the quiet, hidden work. The rest is what we offer to the world.
Do you love trees too? What is it about them that speaks to you?

"Girls on the Bridge," Edvard Munch, 1901.

Norwegian painter and printmaker Munch (1863-1944) is one of the world's best-known and most iconic artists, but he's known primarily for his justly famous "The Scream" and he did so much more...

Munch's early life was marked by loss, ill health, depression, and a fear of inheriting mental illness, so much of his work explores themes of melancholy and alienation. However, this work comes from a happier time of his life....but it's still fairly downbeat.

In 1897, he bought a summer home in the village of Åsgårdstrand, which he dubbed the "Happy Home" for the joy it brought him. By the time he was free of the worries about mental illness, but still had health issues and was also drinking heavily. But he was also very productive at his summer home.

This is based on an encounter he had on a local bridge with three girls. He painted several versions of this scene, with different focus each time. This time, the viewer is almost a participant; it's from the perspective of someone walking across and seeing the three girls. Although a pleasant scene on the surface, the one in the white dress seems isolated from the other two, and they all seem lost in their own thoughts.

From the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg.

"Four Girls," August Macke, 1912-3.

German painter Macke (1887-1914) experimented with many styles over his career, including Impressionism, Fauvism, Orphism, and others, creating his own version of Expressionism late in his life.

He was a significant member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue RIder), a collective of Expressionist artists in prewar Germany that encouraged their members' work and organized exhibitions that toured Germany and neighboring countries.

Painted during his time in Bonn, this work shows his Expressionist style at its best. His version wasn't as much overwrought and dramatic, and dark, as Expressionism often could be; here he's giving us bright colors, but an enigmatic situation. The girls all have downcast eyes; are they all sad? Or are they looking at something on the ground?

Macke had a ton of promise, but his career was cut short. Serving in the German Army in WWI, he was killed in France in 1914.

From the Museum Kunstpalast, Dusseldorf.

"Starry Night," Edvard Munch, 1922-4.

Munch (1863-1944) is revered as one of the great Expressionist painters, a national treasure of Norway, and with a highly recognizable style. His painting "The Scream" is one of the most iconic and acclaimed works of art ever. But we're not talking about that....

This was painted during his "Ekely period," named for the house he bought in 1916. He did several blue-tinted night scenes depicting the scene outside his window. At the very bottom of the canvas, you can see the colors on the snow that indicate the light coming from his room.

Munch had suffered some mental health troubles, but when he painted this he was doing well psychologically, but his physical health was declining a bit. At Ekely he did many paintings of farm life, and a number of nudes with volunteer models (ahem). But at this point in his life, he was more optimistic and positive than ever before; he had a mental stability and security that many feel is reflected in the serenity of this image.

This pretty much says it all for me today, maybe outlines a complicated and somewhat grimy inner state? Today is my Friday at work so I'll keep hope alive as I go head-first through the grinding gears 👻 There's a little gentle blue and some hopeful orange sparks amid the dark carnage 🤣
