Norwegian Munch, his paintings disrupt & disturb...merging anthropomorphic features in an alchemy that is at once cool & fugly. I've never liked him all that Munch, but...who cares? Was he really just ineptly painting his dog when he painted the loathsome work for which he enjoys everlasting fame ("The Scream")? I don't believe so, as we see that Edvard Munch was wholly capable of creating accurate features & locomotive lines bordering on "pleasant". Was it just his wholehearted madness??? Did he generously bequeath us a kaleidoscopic view into the chaos of his brilliant mind, which, addled by drink & chronic traumatic encephalopathy ( I'm armchair diagnosing here) from incessant brawling...availed this stuff? Was he a sort of Nordic Caravaggio-moderne? Whatever the case, Munch lives on forever as the most emotional Norwegian in history. Dec.12, 1863-Jan. 23, 1944 Comments are closed.

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
