Zdzisław Beksiński

[StormOfAshes]

My favorite artists, shame that he died. It really made me wonder what images this man saw when he closed his eyes

[AfroNatives4life]

An extremely gifted man. Im speechless

[BendetterGott]

can someone tell me what song starts at 3:06? great video

[bigfoxki]

@BendetterGott

I want to know that too!

[BendetterGott]

@bigfoxki i already know, its Satie, giosenne nº 4 i think, or nº 2

[mikerhoa]

this is among the greatest videos in youtube history... and the brilliant and extraordinarily important artist it features has a billion less views than a pantload like lady gaga.... justin beiber's jesus tatoo weeps for us all.......

[TheCzarnaStokrotka]

Amazing painter... 

[piespokladowy]

*****

[MsCooperse]

some of his images could scare the bejeezees out of you but by god he is good!

[linvik1]

What's that painting at 4:52 called? I really, really like it.

He is truly an amazing artist... my favourite next to Salvador Dali.

[circae2012]

@linvik1 It's untitled. Beksinski refused to provide titles for any of his drawings and paintings. I like his gorgeous paintings too.

[drc19850925]

0:52 - 0:56 Amazing !

[drc19850925]

In hoc signo vinces !!!!!!!

[TheCrazyLittleDragon]

It might take me another 20 years to be able to paint like these .  This guy slightly better than Gigger .

[Uzbazur345]

Amazing video!

[xXSparky117Xx]

2:45 - no words to describe

[thramagen]

best fucking visual artist ever

[MocnaZocha]

chory umysł... malował piekło a ludzi to tak zachwyca ... :/

[DagmaraJDK]

@MocnaZocha Malarstwo Beksińskiego nie tyle zachwyca ludzi co nimi wstrząsa.

Bo piekło jest na ziemi, tylko nie każdy ma ochotę na zmierzenie się z przykrymi newsami.

[673497]

@MocnaZocha Nie dziw się przyjacielu. Jak tyle przeszedł w swym życiu.

Niestety ty widocznie nie umiesz zauważyć czegoś co artyści potrafią.

[Korneliusz78]

@MocnaZocha czym jest piekło?? tym czego sie boimy?? czym jest niebo?? tym co nas koi? mnie koją prace autora. Był geniuszem!!!

[trisfoul39472173]

realmente un gran idolo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kien fue el amante de justin bieber ke puso pulgar para abajo!

[laoninja123]

How do you pronounce his name?



[DanRossiTV]

@laoninja123 i asked my polish friend and he said it's something like "Zod-iss-lov"

[laoninja123]

@DanRossiTV Thanks.

[GrowlingVocals]

why are you fuckin idiots always trying to classify his unearthly art?do you think he was trying to give any kind of meaning to his paintings?logics have absolutely nothing to do with this

[Hemsom1rojder]

@GrowlingVocals

I believe classification is something thats rooted deep inside a humanbeings nature. We need classfication because thats the way we perceive the "external world". So atleast for my part it's OK to classify if you really feel the need to. But I obviously think its irrelevant to discuss what kind of art he is doing. The question really is: "Does this appeal to you?". Yes it does.

[ArchangelSe7en]

such a brilliant artist .. this video left me speechless for while after seeing it ... but whats tragic is that it only has 30'000 views .people don't have appreciation for real art anymore .. I bet it woul've got a couple million views if it was some stupid rap music or some other nonsense some dare to call it art .. what has this world come to.

[MarJur0909]

Z niesamowitych i przepięknych obrazów Beksińskiego wieje grozą. A jednak nie potrafię przestać ich oglądać. One po prostu mają w sobie to "COŚ". Nie wyobrażam sobie pobytu w Bieszczadach bez odwiedzenia muzeum w Sanoku. Każdy następny pobyt to szybsze bicie serca i coraz dłuższe wpatrywanie się w poszczególne dzieła.

[mikerhoa]

so enchanting

[Erilis666]

absolutely beautiful. great choice of music. <3

[oOldXman]

Many years ago, when I was still a little kid, my father made me go to the exhibition of Beksiński. I didn't really understand what was happening on on those paintings, but ever since then I have a great respect for Beksiński and I love negative pictures, metaphors of death itself. I remember very well only two paintings. Now I am studying art and trying to become a true artist, not some cheap imposter, Zdzisław Beksiński is one of my greatest role-models.

[MrRichardATrice]

If you guys like this you should try and find an animation called the Cathedral, it seems very much inspired by beksinski.

[Erilis666]

@MrRichardATrice yes, positively!

[karumata1]

wow!my Gods! this is our first time to see these artworks! so contemporary works of his time..great..thanks a lot!

[vigilaki2]

great!

[Volvandese]

One of my favorite artists.

[shysterlicious]

For the most part grim and disturbing.  But in every case brilliant.

[DonniDynamite]

wow just discovered this artist about half an hour ago and i have to admit he is 1 o the best artists ive ever seen

[rinavanity]

Astounding! I can't believe that I've never heard of this man or seen his work before. Thank you so much for this video and bringing this amazing artist to my attention.

[Shercko]

Utterly brilliant. The fact that he was murdered pains my heart.

[yumioikawa]

きれい・・・

[evayalje]

creepy.

[cucarachomarino]

sssssssssssss



[captainthundacock]

Before he goes to sleep H.R Geiger prays to Zdzislaw Beksinski

[klickenpod]

:34, WOW!

Brilliant. Just. AHH!

Also wanted to ask.. I've read somewhere that Beksinski was actually (despite a terrible past) quite light hearted and hoped that people who look at some of his gruesome creatures with a sense of humor.

[HoranBitewny]

My Idol

[KelseyTheEnigma]

Beautiful, enchanting, and brilliant work. It was a pity that such a profoundly talented man had to leave this world so quickly. This is dark surrealism at its best.

[purplerain17]

It really says something when someone's artwork only fits with epic music. This man was profoundly imaginative and creative. It's almost like he was channeling his artistic energy from a higher power.

[SuperAgaciatko]

piekielne sedno

[zmor68]

Beksinski reminds us: we, humans, are mortal. Each of us will die in the end. Our bodies will decay and our minds will disappear forever. All stars will vanish. Finally, everything will END. Everything.

Or not?

And that is the question Beksinski's art poses.

It is not a new question, but still the most important one.

[JonBibire]

amazing, any artist got something here to learn from him.

[zimmy81]

amazing vid, cheers.

[distantworld]

Nevermind, i found them ;)

[intempestanocte]

impressive!

[distantworld]

Beksinski was a great artist :) Too bad he died that way.

Anyone know the name of the song?

[GFox300]

are there even any video interviews on this guy?

[Ievolovel]

Astrology is just as worse as religion.

Do something useful with your life.

[stigma76]

1;38 my favourite ...thanks

[samhainMD]

wow, these paintings are amazing but yet so creepy... but still such wonderful work!

[noyearold]

Satie doesn't fit these paintings, in my oppinion. Thanks for posting, anyways :)

[julioclau]

whats the name of the music?

[mingegashup]

The first track is 'for whom the bells toll' by Steve baker & Carmen Daye from the Donnie Darko OST, dunno about the others though.

[jeroen198]

@mingegashup

the 2nd piece is by Erik Satie gnossienne #4 lent

[iAMmrsCENA]

his arts are really something! i feel so uncomfortable when looking at it but they are still very interesting!

R.I.P.

[legatou]

does anyone know what happen with his death? why and who murdered Beksinky in 2005? thanks

[abeldejong]

Wikipedia says:

On 21 February 2005, Beksiński was found dead in his flat in Warsaw with 17 stab wounds on his body; two of the wounds were determined to have been fatal. Robert Kupiec (the teenage son of his long time caretaker), who later pleaded guilty, and a friend were arrested shortly after the crime. On 9 November 2006 Robert Kupiec was condemned to 25 years of prison, and his accomplice(..). Before his death, Beksiński refused a small loan to Robert Kupiec (few hundred złotys (..)).

[mastodonowns69]

my brain just exploded. how can somebody be so good at something?

[visioncommission]

I completely agree! Can you imagine the imagination? His mind was in touch with a higher spirit you can see that from his work-astounding! And he didn't have any art schooling from what I remember? I can't believe he was killed for $100 someone wanted from him-tragic

[mastodonowns69]

he was a genius, no doubt. only a handful of people in the whole world are blessed with the artistic vision that he had, wether it be for music, visual art, ect...it's sad to know that someone with such a rich imagination and power was taken from the world forcefully.

[visioncommission]

you're right-it is almost heartbreaking but the fact that he was able to show his art and let us glimpse at a little bit of the beauty of creation (even in the guise of destruction) is a blessing and reminds me there is something else out there and I am thankful for that-I think he was obsessed with creation-just a feeling-and that is something to hold on to-

thanks for your comments-I always love knowing someone out there feels the same way-

[mastodonowns69]

That's true. Thank you man.

[1Aquareladecolores]

beautiful

[Kanyee21]

dark art

[Amuris86]

His images touch me in a profound way.

[joelhunterd]

Thanks for making this.

[kurukq]

6:41, and 0:40 are my favs

[CruzRuddock]

I would say this is personally my absolute favourite artist. He has exactly the same kind of imagination as myself, not to give myself any credit. I mean the one on 4:10, what if that was a real place... who build it? And what on earth is in there? What will you see if you enter? Its sooooo fucking amazing I almost past out the first time I saw it. !ncredible!!

[mittronmusic]

I started to read your comment was in when this picture appeared in 4:10. I realized it was only when I took to see what is in 4:10 (translated by Globefish 1.2.1)

[Atomium1990]

@CruzRuddock I have goosebumps due to your comment. Zdzislaw Beksinski's art is like an extraterrestrial creature way of understand sin and passion of humankind.

[itierney]

What's the music at the start before Satie?

[DistantMirrors]

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Steve Baker and Carmen Daye.

[Nudz]

Beautiful composition. I've just ordered two book with his works in it. I first discovered Beksinski in 2005, just months before he was murdered. It seemed like such a loss to not have found him sooner, and such a loss for humanity to have lost him.

Very nice music also, what is the name of the piano piece before Gymnopedie No.X (can't remember which number), it's very beautiful.

Thank you!

[Nudz]

Oh, nevermind the music. I found it. Erik Satie - Gnossienne No.4

Should've been apparent to me!

[reppozoo]

Да, таких людей маловато в мире

[EyeeShare]

Thank you, for making this photoslide, I very much enjoyed it. He was truly great. I love his pictures.

[needforname]

this guy is amazing. I wonder how he gets his textured look

[Masterslosey]

These images are so maddening and disturbing, but they're overall brilliant. Along with the music (which I think is probably from Donnie Darko, from the movie theatre scene, correct me if I'm wrong.)

[DistantMirrors]

Indeed,the first piece in the video comes from the film "Donnie Darko"

[Masterslosey]

What's the piece called, do you know?

[feminitedubois]

I've just discovered this artist... Love his work! Thanks!!

[hokejfanRSA]

he started as child during the 2nd world war. he made some pictures by camera, of his (and mine too)town, which is Sanok, during german ocupation. Once, i found the photo of german tank moving in Sanok town centre, made by Zdzisław Beksiński. cruel view. After war, he completed masters degree in Cracow, then came back to Sanok, and started to design bodies of buses vehicles.unfortunately, it was comunism time, and project were to much "future". he left AUTOSAN factory,and started

[niewidzialnemiasta]

non omnis moriar... Horacy (Pieśni, 3, 30, 6).

[WandaThePanda]

One of the best painters I've ever seen... Really...

It's a disgrace that this unknown painter (almost to me) isn't studied in our books of history of art...

[luckyjopot]

great! so mystery on our mind what was the meaning of it only the painter knows many reason why he paint this! i admire him for excellent choices!

[AHS3X7]

Yep, welcome to the club...luv da pix and da mel...Keep in touch. THX

[palabraserrantes]

Qué universos!

Thank you
