Mastering Western Art in 3 Months: Episode 11 'Confessions of the Soul ~Fin de Siècle Art~' Focus on Redon, Munch, Klimt, and More, Airs June 17 on E-Tele
Summary
The 11th episode of the NHK E-Tele series 'Mastering Western Art in 3 Months' focuses on 'Fin de Siècle art,' which flourished across Europe in the late 19th century. As rapid scientific and industrial development caused people's values to waver, artists reacted sensitively to the atmosphere of the times. The program provides a detailed explanation of works that reflect the human inner self, including Moreau's 'The Apparition,' Redon's 'Eye = Balloon' and 'Cyclops,' and Munch's 'The Scream.' It also covers Klimt's 'The Kiss,' a representative of the Vienna Secession, and the 'Femme Fatale' characteristic of the fin de siècle. The program airs on June 17 at 9:30 PM.
