Manfred

[samsara86]

So I did some paintings for class on the Manfred Symphony. A story of a man who had sex with his sister, might have murdered her(or she committed suicide) and now he searches for sweet sweet oblivion.

Nick, these paintings are fucking amazing. You've gone so completely beyond me in terms of artistic skill, concept and execution that I have no choice left but to make you my superior sass arch-nemesis. THE BATTLE BEGINS NOW.

These came out beautifully.

I actually did some more research on the Manfred Symphony after you told me you were doing this assignment because I felt like a terrible music major for not knowing any background on the piece, and I didn't know that "Manfred" was a dramatic poem about a ghost story in England, originally, before Schumann and then Tchaikovsky put music to its theme and Mary Shelley was inspired by it to write "Frankenstein". I thought the color scheme you used, especially in the last two, fit this supernatural and cold eeriness perfectly. I love how the woman seems to be transparent in the last one. Okay this is too long of an analysis, I'm forgetting I'm posting on LJ and not in one of my Fine Arts classes haha, but awesome work.
