So much this, it was one of the main reasons why I chose to, last minute, not go to an art academy. Someone had made an abstract painting, nothing special visually. But, the student had created a whole bookwork, explaining every single dot as a whole in the narrative. They had to create a picture of a cup and add meaning to everything. I hated it so much. I am not a writer, I don't want to make proze, with the visual depiction as support to the story. It's fine if things are done with an intent, if you add another layer, but it shouldn't be the other way around. It's so forced.

Wouldn't say so, elden ring is by far the most light-hearted of all souls games. It doesn't really have any dark scenery. Dark souls has some that has some elements in common with Beksiński, however dark souls is based off berserk by kentaro miura. Also, kentaro miura and Zdzisław Beksiński have many similar elements in their artwork. Though kentaro miura has more of a "dark fantasy" thing going on, while Zdzisław Beksiński has a "dark brutal insanity" style. I'd say the closest game to represent Zdzisławs art would be darkwood, psychologic and Bloodborne.

Beksińskis art had elements of solitude, unnatural scenery, chaotic beings and building, randomly standing out surrounded by nothingness, no order, no system, no feeling that it's whole. Caelid is a whole series of places, beings, no feeling of chaos, everything ties together, everything is connected, it's corrupt but natural, there is order, there is a system, there is a whole.

@@michaelak6753 I agree with this person. The backstory In Praise of Shadows gave about him can define a link of meaning to his works. A lot of the depiction of the works are of emanciated bodies, of war and vets, of religion, of death and decay, of violence and of shock. The color scheme he oftens uses seem to be of warmer colors, something that can be tied back to colors of bombings or explosions and fire. These themes can be pulled back to WW2, as well as other incidences during these times, and could have been a source of, as dryly put it, inspiration. Or his interpretation. He could have stated that there's no meaning to his artwork for clout. He could have stated there is no meaning as he did want to have to explain his work. He could have stated there is no meaning because the meaning is already apparent. There's loads of possibilities as to why he says that, but I bet it is a mixture of everything as to why. I would not be surprised, though, if he did it solely for clout. I personally think everything is inheriently meaningless, from which then some things become meaningful after some significant key of importance, be it influential, historical, or any other kind. Some of his works, I'd argue, are completely meaningless. But these set of specific paintings? I'd say there is definitely some kind of meaning.

Well I think there's a difference between saying what the various symbols may be representing and trying to give a specific meaning to the painting as a whole. It's more talking about the themes than a definite meaning. Like what he said about the blue paint, that gave me a whole deeper appreciation for the work. But if he just said "this painting means nazis are bad" that wouldn't really add anything.

Actually when looking into the backstories and references for the artwork of Ghibli, it is sometimes as disturbing as this. It's just delivered differently. Remember my neighbour Totoro ? It is said to be about two kids, that actually disappeared and believed to be murdered. Totoro is portrayed as a friend, on their way to heaven. Spirited away ? Deals with selling your soul, the bath house is actually the traffic spot for sex workers (prostitution). Miyazaki obviously didn't want to confront kids so directly, with topics like these but gave out subconcious messages by a few scenes here and there, for the adults to understand.

@supereldinho
@supereldinho 3 роки тому
When an artist directly confirms that their paintings have no deeper meaning, then interpretation becomes imposition -- that is, someone claiming to know better than the guy from whose mind the painting originated. Such people are then ascribing depth and meaning when none exist and are trying to make themselves look smart instead of just appreciating art for art's sake. No wonder Beksinski disliked such a self-aggrandising mentality by self-appointed intellectual that have no idea what they're talking about.
@therealshackleford1
@therealshackleford1 3 роки тому
@@supereldinho It has no deeper meaning to the artist; that doesn't mean the paintings don't have deeper meaning to anyone else who looks at them and feels something from them. It's one thing to claim that "the artist meant this" or "the artist did this because" but it's quite another to never allow anyone to see any form of symbolism or depth just because the artist didn't feel anything. Lou Reed once said that "I could be wrong" in regards to how he interprets his songs and understands them. Everyone who takes in a piece of art is going to take something different away from it. There's nothing wrong with taking an artist's pieces and placing them in the historical context of the artist's life. I'd much rather have an artist leave the interpretation up to the viewer/listener rather than just dictate how they should feel.
@supereldinho
@supereldinho 3 роки тому
​@@therealshackleford1 Fair enough, people are almore than welcome to interpret things -- it's just when they start to view those interpretations as fact or profess to know better than the artist is where things go outta line, at least in my opinion. After all, Beksinski was quite up-front with his stance of the subject and I respect him for that. If he had something to say, he would've just said it, so he drew his art for its own sake rather than trying to impose some greater meaning on it. I like that kind of honesty. Or hell, I don't mind an artist who admits that their own interpretation isn't necessarily better than everyone else's. All I'm saying is, Beksinski disliked the idea of imposing interpretation upon others and just preferred people to enjoy his art for its own sake and I appreciate his honesty on the subject. But hey, I can't stop people from disagreeing with him, so have at it, I say.
@therealshackleford1
@therealshackleford1 3 роки тому
@@supereldinho I think we're mostly in agreement with each other. From what I understand, Beksinski was a pretty happy guy who just enjoyed making his art the way he wanted to; he didn't like the idea of people telling him what his art "meant" or what motivated him to make it; after-all, it's a harsh stereotype that all artists are mentally unstable geniuses who throw their darkest, deepest thoughts onto canvas. It seems as though he found a style that he liked and just did what he wanted. I have a huge respect for that. Warhol was very much the same way; he just didn't care what others thought. I agree that we've been exposed to too many "experts" and teachers who tell us that all art has a definite meaning and motivation. We must move away from that type of interpretation. Personally I think his artwork has a lot to say on its own merit, and it can be tiresome to assign every brushstroke with some type of deeper meaning than it has.

Thank you for the awesome video. You explain everything really well, shows how much effort you put into the script as well as the video itself. I was told about your video from Gingy's video about a video game called The Medium, made by a Polisher developer, that apparently has designs inspired by Beksinski.

Beksinski is a hugely underrated artist, so glad you gave him some time. If you ever have a chance or the interest to do so, Wayne Barlowe definitely was highly inspired by Beksinski & others, but I feel he’s been influential enough on modern horror & scifi to earn his own note.

there definitely are bloodthirsty maniacs who end up being soldiers just to kill, but throughout history the huge majority of soldiers were just normal people. To quote Niko from GTA4: "War is where the young and stupid are tricked into killing each other by the old and bitter" No matter the side they fought on, those that died lived a life, had a family, people they loved and people that loved them. I would say everyone is a victim in war

@@TheHardcoreartz What I find funny is that people who are propagandised into seeing themselves as victims tend to have a very shallow outlook filled with hatred and spite - for example, white nationalists - whereas many people who are actually victims of awful monstrous acts tend to have a much deeper way of seeing the world and the people within it, and tend to harbour a lot more pity and forgiveness than the everyman would expect. He saw these naive individuals become convinced they were under threat with an acute knowledge of what being under threat was like, and as such saw the convincers as the true evil and the convinced just pawns and prey for those leading them.

@@Tedris4 There should be some variation of "mutt's law" to apply to SJWs that states the longer artistic interpretation is discussed with a liberal arts/gender studies major the greater the likelyhood of it being derailed into another spite-filled "muh white supremacy" hatred circle-jerk. To state that white people can't be victims because they are white is complete bullshit. Then again, you can't expect much from someone who idolizes Stalin and communism.

Nazis are white nationalists. And if you morons read the comment, you would see he said that the artist saw those soldiers as just pawns brainwashed and painted them as victims as well. There was no talk that whites can’t be victims too, quite the opposite in fact. Seriously, when you two see anyone say white nationalist anywhere in any context, do you just stop thinking?
