place where everything was bright and happy, without worry or discomfort, we might become dull and bland beings, lacking both darkness and subtlety. \u003cbr\u003eIf you only pursue positive feelings, you will see the world in a very fragmented way.\u003cbr\u003e We will not be able to face reality as it is, nor will we be able to adequately prepare for the pain and suffering that will come to us in life.\u003cbr\u003e To deny the darkness within is to put yourself at risk.\u003cbr\u003e Tragedy and disaster can happen to anyone, and at some point in life, no matter what mindset you have, darkness will overtake you.\u003cbr\u003e Good things don't always happen to good people, bad things don't always happen to bad people, and just because you think positive or negative thoughts, those things don't actually happen.\u003cbr\u003e As you live, all kinds of things are bound to happen.\u003cbr\u003e Pain is pain and feelings are feelings.\u003cbr\u003e For emotional health, it is

work? Rumor has it that he even hung a reproduction of \"The Nightmare\" on the wall of his apartment in Vienna, Austria.\u003cbr\u003e Freud emphasized the importance of dreams in understanding the mind, and his theories inspired the Surrealists and later artists.\u003cbr\u003e Surrealists were also deeply interested in the interpretation that dreams serve as conduits for unexpressed emotions and desires, and Surrealist painters used motifs they discovered in their dreams to create powerful and provocative works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2007, Damien Hirst (1965-) made headlines by creating a platinum cast of a human skull from the mid-1800s, encrusted with 8,601 of the world's finest diamonds, and completed the piece with real human teeth from the original skull. \u003cbr\u003eThe title was \"Oh My God,\" which was taken from his mother's question: \"Oh my God, what are you going to do next?\"\u003cbr\u003e Hirst had been interested in skeletons since he was a child.\u003cbr\u003e At the age of 16, he visited the anatomy department of the University of Leeds and sketched corpses.\u003cbr\u003e “[Death] doesn’t break me down, it inspires me,” he explained, “and my relationship with death changes every day.”\u003cbr\u003e Since its first exhibition, \"My God,\" which has become a hugely famous work of modern art, reveals Hirst's particular interest in the inevitability of death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When darkness takes hold of us, we must be ready to face it, embrace it, and swallow it.\u003cbr\u003e I eagerly await the artwork that will be born from such a story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Saska Schneider (1870-1927) was a painter of mysticism. \u003cbr\u003eHis dreamlike work is full of powerful symbolism and, despite its shocking depictions of homosexuality, was a success in fin-de-siècle Germany.\u003cbr\u003e During this period, a life reform movement (Freikorperkultur) arose in Germany, which sought a return to classical ideals, traditional exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, and among its practices was nudism.\u003cbr\u003e Schneider was passionate about this classical ideal, even creating a gym in his studio.\u003cbr\u003e His explicit depictions of muscular bodies and masculine beauty, rendered in charcoal and oil, paradoxically brought his work into the mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e German society was willing to accept homosexual images, but was not ready to confront and accept homosexuality itself.\u003cbr\u003e He resigned from Weimar University, which had raised issues about homosexuality, and moved to Italy in the early 1900s.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.229\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA terrible nightmare, an inevitable death, a desolate ruin\u003cbr\u003e Creepy ghosts, mysterious magic, hideous monsters…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's scary once you see it, but you'll get hooked the second time you see it.\u003cbr\u003e A gallery of terrifying yet beautiful works of art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e S., who introduced readers to mysterious and strange works of art through 『Occult Art』.\u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth returns with a collection of dark and bizarre artworks, this time titled \"The Art of Darkness.\"\u003cbr\u003e It is divided into four parts, and the major themes are 'Nightmares and Delirium', 'Pain and Death', 'Wildness and Nature', and 'Monsters and Witches'.\u003cbr\u003e The author has carefully selected over 150 famous paintings that best illustrate each theme while also providing food for thought, and explains the artists who created the paintings, their backgrounds, and points worth noting. \u003cbr\u003eThrough the included illustrations, readers can vividly capture the essence of 'darkness' that has captivated artists for a long time, and project this onto themselves to create a new 'darkness'.\u003cbr\u003e But the purpose of this book is not simply to convey fear for the sake of fear.\u003cbr\u003e The point is to confront our inner demons as we approach and then retreat from these seductive yet terrifying images, and in the process, discover the other half of ourselves that is steeped in fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Let's look at Munch's painting \"Anxiety\" (1894).\u003cbr\u003e What darkness is contained in this painting, which at first glance exudes an eerie and bizarre impression? Why did Munch paint such a work? The truth is, Munch had a very unhappy youth.\u003cbr\u003e His closest sister and mother died of tuberculosis, another sister suffered from mental illness, and Munch himself suffered from frequent fevers and bronchitis. \u003cbr\u003eLater, Munch wrote:\u003cbr\u003e “I inherited two of humanity’s most fearsome enemies.\u003cbr\u003e “It is a legacy of tuberculosis and mental illness.” These elements of anxiety permeated Munch’s early work, and he continued to explore this theme until his death.\u003cbr\u003e Less well known than The Scream, this painting displays a sense of despair and inexplicable fear, a subtle paranoia, discomfort and distrust emanating from the eerie, inhuman faces.\u003cbr\u003e It is an expression of collective despair that lasts longer than the sharp agony experienced by the isolated individual in “The Scream.”\u003cbr\u003e These works still influence us and resonate deeply with viewers today.\u003cbr\u003e The author asks us a question. \u003cbr\u003eWho hasn't felt this painful emotion at some point in their lives? How would you express it? What does this painting make you feel?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“What good is your good if evil does not exist?\u003cbr\u003e And what will the earth look like when all darkness disappears?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Only when good and evil coexist can they be valuable.\u003cbr\u003e Sharp pictures that penetrate the essence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Exploring this dark side of human nature is often painful and troubling, but it is a necessary step.\u003cbr\u003e If we look into the weaknesses of human nature, unfortunately, what we see is not very pleasing. \u003cbr\u003eBut to fully understand and appreciate humans and the world around them, we must face and embrace all aspects of nature, both its natural beauty and the horror of our own minds.” (Page 65) Life is not beautiful 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.\u003cbr\u003e There are bound to be moments of pain and moments of frustration.\u003cbr\u003e At such times, we can find solace in looking at bright and vibrant paintings, or we can find courage in looking at paintings that reveal dark and raw emotions, realizing that the artist who painted these paintings also walked a similar path to us and found salvation through paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you come across a picture that catches your eye while flipping through the pages, stop and just look at it.\u003cbr\u003e This picture may evoke immediate disgust in you, or it may give you a chilling feeling of fear. \u003cbr\u003eYou can enjoy the moment and move on to the next painting, or you can stay a little longer and listen to the background of the painting and the artist's intimate story.\u003cbr\u003e That picture will somehow linger in your mind and serve as a guide in your exploration of the source of darkness. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 pages | 846g | 171*224*25mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791185954981\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1185954988 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43890132516906,"sku":"161491","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/585d4013cee85e8eedf85606be25dcdf.jpg?v=1765288441","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/161491","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
