[life-imitates-art-far-more]

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) "Love and Pain" (1895) Oil on canvas Expressionism Located in the Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway The painting shows a woman with long flame-red hair kissing a man on the neck, as the couple embrace. Although others have seen in it "a man locked in a vampire's tortured embrace – her molten-red hair running along his soft bare skin," Munch himself always claimed it showed nothing more than "just a woman kissing a man on the neck."

If it doesn't destroy you and left you in pain when it's over, then it wasn't love.

The most compelling part of Transformers is that somehow every single character is doomed by the narrative

It’s against All of them

There are hundreds of characters and not one gets a break, like, even if you aren’t a fan you’ve gotta admit that’s Impressive

~ I can’t help myself sometimes. ~ Every bratty word that slips out of my mouth feels like a tiny victory, a little thrill running down my spine.

But deep down I’m just aching for it to backfire, desperate for her to make me regret it.

Every time I push her, I’m hoping she’ll finally snap, grab me, and remind me why teasing her is such a dangerous game. I want her to shut me up, to show me exactly what happens when I push too far.

It’s funny how much I enjoy provoking her, but I also can’t wait for the moment I’m forced to pay for it.

It’s like every little taunt I throw her way is just another step closer to the punishment I know I deserve.

Watching the Korean drama "What come after love" various thoughts started to arise in my mind with the question in all of them being the same "do such loves really exist?" The uniqueness of the filmography , the romance, the love, the pain, every emotion is captured in such a way that each viewer is enticed to follow the emotions it wants to create.

But really, is there anyone who has experienced something similar to what they feel for two strangers watching them lost in the vanity of their own love! For a script that is nothing but a piece of paper marked with words and letters that emanate from the heart of another human being, similarly unknown to us. How can you not admire this art then?!

The effort to identify with the protagonists and more specifically with the story that follows them, embeds a simple watch into an experiential path. Some revisit and relive sad events that have scarred their hearts, others use their imagination to create stories of unrequited love, which ends as the director naturally wishes.

Perhaps there is no consistency in my speech and I just write whatever comes to mind. Think, wonder and write what you feel somewhere, or if there is someone who needs to hear it, say it there. With the magic of this music and the emotions it creates for me, full of freedom, I salute you and I'll be back again!

I would much sooner fool myself into thinking I can live without you than to intrude on your solitude. I will throw up my own blood before I come back to you because I know that you can not have the peace you deserve with me by your side.

LOVE AND PAIN (VAMPIRE) | 1895 | by EDVARD MUNCH

This is a captivating piece that has sparked various interpretations and discussions over the years. The painting depicts a woman with long red hair kissing a man on the neck, creating an intense and mysterious scene. While MUNCH himself described it simply as a woman kissing a man on the neck, others have seen it as a vampiric embrace, symbolizing themes of love, pain, mortality, and melancholy.

The composition of the painting is striking, with the woman's red hair enveloping both figures, emphasizing their connection and creating a sense of unity. The man, portrayed in anguish, is embraced by the woman, whose actions can be interpreted as either a gesture of comfort or a more sinister act of draining his blood. This ambiguity adds depth to the painting, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between the two figures and the emotions it evokes.

The title "VAMPIRE" was not originally given by MUNCH himself but by his friend STANISŁAW PRZYBYSZEWSKI, who saw the painting as a representation of a man under a vampire's embrace. This interpretation, along with the painting's intense colors and emotional intensity, has contributed to its enduring appeal and the ongoing fascination it holds for art enthusiasts.

Overall, MUNCH'S "VAMPIRE" is a complex and thought-provoking work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its enigmatic narrative and powerful imagery, inviting them to explore themes of love, pain, and the darker aspects of human emotions.

Edvard Munch

Love and Pain (1895)

This painting has come to be known as "Vampyre". Stanislaw Przybyszewski, critic and friend of Munch, described the painting as "a man who has become submissive, and on his neck a biting vampire's face". That was the first mention of a vampire regarding the painting. In 2008, Arifa Akbar, Arts Correspondant with The Independant, referred to it in this way " a man locked in a vampire's tortured embrace – her molten-red hair running along his soft bare skin."

Munch often created several versions of the same subject. In 1895 he created a woodcut that closely resembled Love and Pain.

Vampire II (1895)

Munch went on to use this composition 11 more times. Here are a few.

Vampire (1916-1918)

Vampire (1916-1918)

Vampire in the Forest (1916-1919)

Some people are always shocked, like, "Whoa, how can you like it when it hurts? You scream and cry, it can't be pleasurable!"

And I'm like, "Ever scream on a roller coaster? Or wince when eating a spicy burger or sour lemon pie?"

Yeah, I scream and cry, but it's part of the thrill. Just because something makes you react intensely doesn’t mean it isn't deliciously fun.
