If you are into Młoda Polska and you don't hate Przybyszewski you're not paying attention

In a Manichean manner, Przybyszewski postulates two eternal gods of equal strength. One is the God of Christianity, who wishes to keep mankind in a childlike state and wants to extinguish its free will. The other God, Satan, embodies lawlessness, curiosity, and titanic defiance.

In this article, I take the concept of solarisation as presented by Valerio Mattioli of Gruppo Di Nun and basically turn it into an expression of the philosophy of Satanism, and Satan as our dark solar myth. Hopefully it's also pretty kinky.

Przybyszewski gave Boy an erotic copperplate engraving of a horse fucking a woman in 1898 and he regifted it to Irena Krzywicka later. Młoda Polska was so unbelievably horny

Edvard Munch "Stanislaw Przybyszewski" 1895

[pmamtraveller]

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.

-Stanislaw Przybyszewski-

[czortofbaldmountain]

Stanislaw Przybyszewski formulated what is likely the first attempt ever to construct a more or less systematic Satanism. Unlike that of other literary praisers of Satan, his love for the fallen angel was sustained through many works. It was also explicit and open; he publically declared himself a Satanist. Above all, and this needs to be stressed as it is a major difference in comparison with other literary Satanists, it was well-developed enough to be called a system.

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)

Perhaps I will end up developing my ideas about Satan as the spiral of insurrection into a Satan myth, possibly building on Przybyszewski's myth among other ideas. And, I don't know about you, but I think Przybyszewski's influence is somewhat more apparent in my interpretation of Satanism than it was before. Or maybe that's just an affect of the growth of insurrectionary anarchism in my thought.

Explaining one of VTMB paintings (pt 1)

Love and Pain -1895 oil on canvas by Edvard Munch. 

Edvard Munch (December 12, 1863- January 23, 1944,) an Norwegian painter most famously known for his Expressionist work The Scream. He painted six versions of Love and Pain between 1893 and 1895. All show a (seemingly naked) woman with long red hair embracing a man as she gives him a kiss on the back of his neck. Munch himself always claimed it showed nothing more than "just a woman kissing a man on the neck"[1].While others have claimed to see a more violent version. The painting was first called Vampire by Munch's friend, the critic Stanisław Przybyszewski. Przybyszewski saw the painting on exhibition and described it as "a man who has become submissive, and on his neck a biting vampire's face."[2] Others fallowed suit and have called the painting Vampire or the Vampires Kiss and claimed to see sado-masochistic intentions for it. 

It shows up in multiple places in VTMB but most notable in Therese and Jeanette Voermans’ office, only this version of the painting has the woman’s hair being changed from red to neon blue color (see photo below) which was never used by Munch but probably done to make the painting stand out against the dark red wallpaper and low lighting used in the office.
