Zdzislaw Beksinski

[Testacojones]

What went wrong with this video? The changes from painting to painting is abrupt and not as fluent, everything looks fast. What the hell.

[fishapiller]

love him



[heavierthanheaven88]

GENIUS

[skyjuiceification]

zedslaw beck-zin-ski is how u say it.

[DivineManiaStudio]

That was good, and depressing.

RIP beksinski, your legacy is alive

[evilartstudio]

He is incredible



[FriedelAstro]

great art, a shame i didn´t know so far!

[aikipablo100]

Profundamente desolador e impresionante!!

[xrbecx]

I have been wondering for years.... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PRONOUNCE THIS GUYS NAME???

[ZajacNoob]

@xrbecx type in translate google Zdzisław Beksiński choose polish language and press speaker icon. It says correctly, hard for english people to spell though

[Heavymetalgamer28]

@xrbecx

Zuh-DEESH-wav is the closest way of pronouncing it in English. Hope that helps.

Molaría una pelicula ambientada en su mundo de pesadilla

[alessis266]

[cialhc]

[ovetusvetusta]

@cialhc Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) ;)

[NNSMAS]

Quest'artista era un genio..

[uekenceena]

he's my best artist !

i esteem his sublime painting,and i was interested surrealisme since i saw it.

[randomnf]

What song plays on Zdzislaw Beksinski official site in Gallery?

[ZombieWoOgumz]

@randomnf I think it's the moviemusic composer Zbigniew Preisner. One of the songs is named Dekalog VIII

[randomnf]

@ZombieWoOgumz Thanks! I found it - Dekalog IV pt.2 ))

[ZombieWoOgumz]

@randomnf You're welcome! :))

[TheInsomnia90]

apocaliptics pictures

[TheTimeDesk]

Beksinski had what the vast majority of these pretentious hacks who call themselves artists lack: profoundly disturbing personal experience and a sense of the larger picture. One look at these and you know the painter didn't spend their formative years in Brooklyn.

[TheSDBSickeness]

The untitled painting at 1:51, I'm getting tattooed. Favorite painting ever.

[jdc185]

beksinski compliments my Opeth mood.... 

[stupidroro]

When I look at its art, sure it looks chilling and horrifying but under it all there's incredible drawing surrealistic beauty. Like the fact there's hope that you eventually wake up from a nightmare. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only freakshow that thinks his post apocalyptic agonized art is hopeful.

[CEGreen26]

@stupidroro i find peace in his paintings as well

[FallenKain]

@stupidroro Or maybe you wonder if you're the only one who's read the author's quoted personal viewpoints on his own work? Oh yes, very insightful of you...

[YourADrag]

my favorite. he makes me feel like ive done nothing with my life though

[sladami44]

[DiabolicaLuz]

DEJAR QUE SUS OJOS CONTEMPLEN !!!! Contemplar todo lo oscuro! contemplar la muerte, la vida , las risas q tambien son oscuras, las miradas, los caminos , los laverintos ,las laderas, los callejones y las cuchillas.

Contemplen! ,contemplar lo bueno de lo oscuro... lo bello, lo hermoso, lo atrevido, lo diferente.......

ESTA VEZ SIN SEPARADORES DE CABEZAS! *DIABOLICALUZ*

[amucen68]

Great!

[BloodyMilkshake]

Id like to know what he was thinking while painting those!

[XxExoNine]

You should have put the song Zdzislaw by Rishloo as the music.. Its amazing and it totally captures his art in audio form

[Khultan]

A visionary.  I only saw some of his works and I did not remember his name. A really great artist and Talent. Rest in peace.

[garynumansghost]

[trigun123100]

where did u get the pics

[waddellski]

this video makes me want to vomit

i am not trying to be offensive

it is so wrong it makes me feel like being sick

[BubbleGumNipples]

@waddellski

Are you saying your incredibly sensitive, or that the video disoriented you somehow?

[SplinterInYourEye]

@waddellski Maybe the artist wants you to be uncomfortable. Beksinski was once interviewed where he said his paintings were humorous to him. (mind you he was a jewish boy living in Warsaw during the holocaust) Either way you cannot deny his talent. His art is incredible, even if it is terrifying.

[NekoD3m0n]

Can you do a video putting these pictures to Lustmord music? That would be fuckin creepy.

[karagjorjevic]

that song is street spirit by radiohead, very good song

[evayalje]

what's the name of the song? please

[karagjorjevic]

@evayalje that is street spirit by radiohead

@karagjorjevic gracias y saludos desde texas

[quiteobserver]

koleś malował na płytach pilśniowych, byłem w sanoku w muzeum....mógłbym spędzić całe godziny na oglądaniu tych szczegółów na obrazach

[tr3buh]

very talented artist with very tragic life, his wife died, some time later his only son commited suicide, and Beksinski himself was murdered in his own apartment, sad...

[blackdepressive888]

radiohead 

[astronomer51583]

this is amazing beautiful its so dark and symbolic like true life

[dparnell89]

What would entail someone to create such art?

[jamieboyrockon]

A great artist right here, though he seemed very pessimistic about the future, eh?

[aesde1125]

Boże, czemu on nie żyje :(

[TheFireGgost]

niesamowite

[yutaan]

great art.

great music.

Incredible artist, it's like he looked into hell or something...

[MultiBlot]

[MrGolibroda]

Żałuję że poznałem jego twórczość dopiero po jego śmierci. Był wielkim artystą.

[deathgift07]

who made this song?

[arpegiosamistikus]

radiohead

[deathgift07]

sad that he was murdered..

[TakeruxN]

@deathgift07

how was he murdered?

[irabbit]

@TakeruxN

Stabbed by his caretaker because he wouldn't loan him like a hundred bucks.

[Kiwiislandbird]

how the heck do you pronounce his first name

[KubaHeist]

zgees waf

[firedeathterror999]

[zimmy81]

having just discovered beks im blown away how freaked out his art is ,im shocked, a word ive never used in my life,how could i have missed this genius. oh and mr piss in my ass455, most interesting and informative comments, hats off to ya. good work joelam

[BIoodorange]

Dude!!! One of my favortie songs by Radiohead at the end of the CD, and my favorite artist.  You sir, are my hero :3!

Radiohead: "(...) immerse your soul in love."

[6thvenom]

awesome check out more of his paintings at

zbeksinski.blogspot

[kekeinvideoland]

lovely

[KittenKiller]

How do you pronounce his name?

[zelloseas]

Obrazy z "okresu fantastycznego " trzeba oglądać na żywo, zdjęcia nie oddają nawet w 1% ich klimatu,kolorów. Dla muzeum Beksińskiego warto odwiedzić Sanok.

[strohmann]

the perfect music for his paintings is the funeral doom band "Esoteric". Just google for "esoteric band" and you find their myspace-page and listen..

[arpegiosamistikus]

No,it's too much heavy IMO.Paradise Lost or Katatonia would be my preposition...

[PissInMyAss455]

sorry but esoteric sounds like a bunch of dying animals mixed with fingernails on a chalkboard

[strohmann]

@PissInMyAss455: ok, but then a bunch of dying monstrous whales, sinking in the depths of the oceans and growling their anger..

i still think espteric fits, at least for the darker paintings with all the limbs and bones and gravestones.. they're monstrous and creepy and not just melancholic like the radiohead-song (which btw I also like)

[PissInMyAss455]

Zdzisaw's form is far too profound to suit with the intense nonsense that is esoteric. Yes his art is dark and sepulchral but it also displays a grotesque human nature that is true to the stroke. Maybe a painting of a murder would fit with esoteric, although when it comes to Zdzislaw the best music would be equally empty echoing notes that ring long and true to compliment the everlasting actuallities of the crude human psyche.

[SmoothHourglass]

@PissInMyAss455 Amazing how many people will mindlessly thumbs up a comment that holds no true merit.

[FallenKain]

@SmoothHourglass Generally the result of sycophants attempting to feel equal in intelligence to an overtly vocal pseudo-intellect. Luckily, there are observant intrepid thinkers such as yourself who are capable of exposing hollow bullshit for what it is. Thanks for that. Nice to know YouTubers aren't all sheep.

[Adhoc91]

@FallenKain and this is you, another fainthearted breather functioning on a shiner locomotion. you were then, and will respond with, a way that works out for yourself so that you can feel ok with the fact that nothing is known... as i have just done now. it is really better to just say nothing in these cases, yet here i am, funny.

[FallenKain]

@Adhoc91 No no, amigo, I'm perfectly comfortable with the fact that nothing is known. I do, however subscribe to Descartes' "Cogito ergo sum," so under that theorem, I do know at least that I exist, in one form or another. I'm not here to start pissing contests, and I'm sure you're a perfectly bright fellow, but honestly, the attempt at anapestic prose is both pretentious, and borderline nonsensical. You're right, generally, in the presence of morons, the best bet is to say nothing, however

[FallenKain]

@Adhoc91 however, if I'm honest with myself, and with you, there are certain occasions where it is just plain amusing. I have no desire to with fight anyone, but to be certain I am entitled to this right, and seeing as how on YouTube, no one really gives a shit, why not? Nothing is, nothing isn't, nothing matters. For the sake of the game we're playing, however, I do strongly suggest working on basic grammar. I know, everyone says it, but hey, it does make for a more pleasant read...

[Adhoc91]

@FallenKain yes it can be amusing to play chess with yourself from time to time, i cannot argue that point. it is clear that there is a spot in all of us where another's grief and ire can be tossed to the sharks and recycled.

even before you indulge it always looks like a sound prospect to run with. all in all i can more agree with you over not (about my grammar too), and you yourself must be a bright one for you provoke more time from me than some youtube casuist halfwit might. lets enjoy art.

[FallenKain]

@Adhoc91 Haha, thanks for the smiles friend. I appreciate your candor. Quite a few casuists present here, agreed? Enjoy art we shall. Glad to have shared this disquisition with a venerable opponent.

[Adhoc91]

@FallenKain agreed. casuistry; its hard too escape but also abandon. it's not "right" but is it really wrong? perhaps a play thing for the intellect. thanks for the chat.

[FallenKain]

@Adhoc91 Fear not, little friend, I have no delusions of grandeur, no illusions of a greater purpose. I'm just here for a laugh and to treat my senses to some fantastic music, and inimitable artwork. ; )

[Adhoc91]

@FallenKain no, of coarse not. ; )

[FallenKain]

@Adhoc91 Spelling too. Course, not coarse, unless your 'not' is rather rough. ; ) back at ya.

[Adhoc91]

@FallenKain yeah, spelling is not my sign of detail i'm afraid. the madness reveals me. : )

[FallenKain]

@PissInMyAss455 Wow, sounds an awful lot to me like someone enjoys paraphrasing their art teacher's observations, while forgetting all of the relevant content. Nice try PissAss, but how 'bout leaving the 'smart talk' to the smart people, hmm? It's usually necessary to know what words mean before you can use them effectively. K pumpkin?

[PissInMyAss455]

Beksinski actually insisted listening to classical music while he was painting and nothing else. He could not work without it. It was his muse, his force, the rhythm to which he created. A sporadic and short lived band that hinges on the short intense climaxes of a shredded solo with no theoretical value only takes away from the ordered chaos that Beksinski illustrates.

[BRUTASTICGORE]

do you by any chance know any good evil sounding classical music? like the type uuh Zdzisaw listened to?

[BIoodorange]

If you have a chance, check out Beksinski's official site, and check out the music. It's very Baroque, but very creepy. The composer made the soundtrack for a couple of movies, his name is Zbigniew Preisner. Also: Javier Navarrete who worked on Pan's Labyrinth.

[DSutra91]

@BRUTASTICGORE im interested in knowing too, like real evil shit

[MaxZorin8]

@PissInMyAss455

Beksinski also liked rock music! Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Budgie, Batchman Turner Overdrive, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Barclay James Harvest, Marillion, old Genesis (but he didn't like typical prog rock bands), Ultravox and even This Mortal Coil. Funny fact: he didn't like lyrics. He never cared about the meaning of lyrics, he was more interested in the sound.

[carriemaizey]

@MaxZorin8 I'm exactly the same. I never cared about the lyrics only the sound, until a friend of mine said he couldn't understand that. I've tried to pay more attention since ... LOL I can sing along to any of my favourite songs though. Weird huh :-)

[asdfrcexwzq]

Couldn't you just show me pics without that morony moving

[trackerbignose]

does anyone know where i can find his prints or actual art

[Crime667]

Geniusz.... Nikt tak nigdy nie malował w latach 70,80 jak on.. i nikt niebędzie

poprostu mistrz swego kunsztu...!

[pewploid]

At 2:17 we see a prophetic image 'the tower'!!!!

Very interesting.

[Ray0o15]

wau supermegagenial, estupendo artista

[eriatarka43]

Lots of people are curious to know how he manages to think of such things and paint them, well my theory is since he experienced the horrors of world war 2 in poland he got a glimpse of what might the world look like after the end. i believe the world war was his inspiration.

[LittleChikadee]

Well said...

[DarkAddagio]

Togueter GIGER, this are my favourites artists

[dmpassion]

niesamowity artysta !!!

[sayuri969]

Muzeum Historyczne w Sanoku istnieje od 1934 roku. Jego siedzibą jest zamek królewski w Sanoku, oraz Zajazd przy ul. Zamkowej z końca XVIII wieku. Największą i najcenniejszą jej część stanowią obrazy Zdzisława Beksińskiego. (źródło: wikipedia) ......... bylam, widzialam, podziwialam. nie do opisania. kolory jakby swieciły. warte obejrzenia.

[heniu888]

jego obrazy przedstawiaja ludzkie cierpienie przedstawia to co najbardziej sie bojimy ale to jest wlasnie w jego obrazach piekne jest zdecydowanie genialnym malarzem mial gdzies ze zarabial na tym kupe kasy i tak mieszkal w blokach a nie w jakims domku jednorodzinnym z basenem itp i robil to co lubi za to go szanuje

[LukaWarsPL]

A jakby mieszkał w domu jednorodzinnym to by oznaczało że jest gorszym artystą? Co ma miejsce zamieszkania do talentu?

[heniu888]

oj zle mnie zrozumiales nie o to chodzi ze gdyby mieszkal w domku jednorodzinnym to by byl gorszy poprostu mial gdzies dobra materialne u niego w zyciu liczylo sie tylko jedno sztuka a ja takich ludzi szanuje

[RossHilyard]

fucking awesome, love the work

[quiteobserver]

@RossHilyard You shoulda visit museum in Sanok - there are lot of his fine works :)

[cobosastaroth]

Good work ! Check out my Beksinski's video

[carcosa]

Wow, that song is amazing! Never heard it before, new opinion of Radiohead. Never heard anything before I liked from them...

[jair38]

wath is the song??'

[graham6419]

The picture of the mother embracing the child...is that real? From the remains of Pompeii?

[daylighterka]

Aaah, uwielbiam Beksińskiego. . . Dzięki ^^

[smola102]

ja też ;)

mistrz!

[BMUSTDIE]

TheJoeIam excelent work on this clip.

[blind329]

Truly a master

[JohnnyReborn665]

This video goes straightly to my favorites.

Bless his work and his fate be a good one....

He dyed like a dog for what???

Why do people who deserve to live die....and those who deserve to die live with us...

We cannot stop certain things.

[JohnnyReborn665]

He's a genius.

His work is breath taking.

I never seen so much passion.

[SceneCupCakes]

whats the song called

[fuckingimba]

tragic life?what happend to him

[thejordan01]

he was murdered over a small loan or something.

I love his work, there's the landcape seems so silent and desolate, I love it.

[BIoodorange]

I think if I remember correctly, his son commited suicide, and a friend of his son asked him for money and he stabbed him to death. I think his wife died shortly after. It's scary how un nerving his end was, comparing his work, and he burned alot of his paintings he felt were too personal. It's sad that a lot of work will never be seen.

[GFox300]

It's weird because his son's friend only asked for $100 back that Zdzislaw borrowed

[BIoodorange]

Yeah, and he was terrified of dying painfully.

[Galakthoese]

Great art. An alternative draft to Giger, but obviously much more influenced by reality. The only conclusion left is to fight against everyone who shows any aspect of fascism.

The well chosen music emphasizes the artist´s expression, amazing - thanks!

[habynac]

amasing video...

amasing artist who had tragic life..

amasing song...

[johny260]

was he a holocaust survivor?

[xristo702]

His wife died, then his son committed suicide shortly after.

And he himself was stabbed 17 times and left to die by the son of a long time acquaintance.

Non conoscevo questo artista. Grazie per il video. Bellissimo. Le immagini poi. Penso che egoticness abbia reso con poche parole l'idea generale. Tra i preferiti.

[egoticness]

Visionario,apocalittico,nichil­ista,cupo..ma forse si scorge un tentativo di oltrepassare l'oscurità,forse una speranza di redenzione..magnifico artista!

[bebop54]

thanks for the gift man !....

[johnhart30]

Absolutely amazing artistry, thanks for sharing.

[egoticness]

Great sharing,my friend!!
