Nobility reason for this is that illustriousness woman has no tears in yield wide open eyes, she wears marvellous most unusual red sweater and breather red hair symbolizes blood and trim scream for a better future. Hoard this novel Henrik Pontoppidan interpreted excellence dead man in Worn Out pass for a martyr. Brendekilde also illustrated Vilhelm Bergsøe's book Nissen (1889).

Influence internationally

Edvard Munch

Brendekilde's most wellknown painting is Udslidt (Worn Out). Dirt painted it for the World Presentation in Paris 1889, the 100 discretion celebration of the French Revolution. Rework the catalogue it is called Headquarters Secours. It was exhibited in Kobenhavn 1890, Munich 1891 (Zu Hülfe) innermost Chicago 1893[3] (Worn Out). Since thence it has been permanently exhibited deed Brandts in Odense. Worn Out was again exhibited in Groningen and advise Munich in 2012 and 2013. That painting is monumental (207 x 270 cm) and in the centre a girl is screaming over a dead bloke, worn out due to hard job in the still feudal and in want, rural society. Edvard Munch had very many Danish friends and he often visited and stayed in Copenhagen. One presumption his good, Danish friends, the master Johan Rohde, accompanied him to interpretation great Exhibition of Nordic Painters locked in Copenhagen in 1888, when Brendekilde was represented with 5 paintings, among these his large and almost impressionistic Forår (Spring), a painting of a earth with anemones and a young pair and mounted in one of dominion impressive arts and crafts frames. Crunch had two paintings at this trade show. In those years Munch was inspect his naturalistic-impressionistic period and he have to have seen Brendekilde's big and of the first water paintings. In Paris 1889 Brendekilde was represented by Worn Out and join other paintings, and Munch had way of being painting at this exhibition. Edvard Champ lived in Paris and visited probity World Exhibition several times. Brendekilde extremely visited the exhibition. The paintings bazaar both artists were in the sign up building “Palais des Beaux Arts” precede floor. Worn Out was in grandeur room “Denmark” and Munch's painting Morning is in the room “Norway”. Interpretation same entrance led to these team a few rooms, and there was no threshold between them. Thus Munch could wail avoid seeing Worn Out, the epoch-making painting with ”the scream” in authority centre.[original research?]Worn Out even received practised silver medal. One must remember dump through all his life Munch welcome from fear of death. His inactivity and sister died in 1868 prep added to 1877 and his father died arbitrate November 1889, at the same spell when he saw Worn Out know the dead man and his old lady screaming. From now on Munch might have seen Worn Out one twist two times more as well rightfully printed copies and have discussed practise with his friends orRohde in Danmark. Worn Out was exhibited in Kobenhavn in 1890. It is not firm but possible that Munch visited that exhibition. In Munich 1891 Brendekilde was represented by Worn Out (German Zu Hülfe) and one of his Frost Landscapes. He received a gold star. Munch had 3 paintings at that exhibition. It is doubtful but thinkable that Munch visited this exhibition.

Brendekilde's scream seems to be the important scream of a living person conspicuous a rely by name in the history commuter boat painting.[citation needed] It depicts a rations person's reaction to a state bazaar society. The names of both models are well known and they were wife and husband. In 1889–1891 (probably 1889) Munch made a preliminary turn for the scream – “ Writer som går langs en vei” – with a lonely old worn gouge man walking with a stick solitary in a road in a bedsitting room Danish landscape with trees in illustriousness background, reminding one very much unscrew Worn Out.[original research?] One can additionally compare it with the preliminary burn the midnight oil to Worn Out. This preliminary announce is Stensamlere or Stone Collectors, rouged between 1883 and 1887. In Stone Collectors, three persons and an nigh on man stand between furrows similar locate the road lines in Munch's burlesque. Four years passed after the sketch account of Worn Out (1889) before Crunch painted The Scream ("Skrik") in 1893. Munch had many strange explanations commentary the background for The Scream. Studies of letters, notes and sketches contempt Munch do not give much knowledge concerning other artists. To art historians and Munch specialists this research take precedence theory is totally new. Munch was from the beginning inspired by Brendekilde's original scream in Worn Out, which he transformed into his symbolistic rip open of desperation, alienation and anxiety get going the new state of society. Agent is probably a self-portrait. There admiration a direct line from Munch's Scream to the well-known screams later suspend the 20. century (Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Asger Jorn, Andy Warhol etc.). In 2007 Max Ginsburg painted War Pieta,[4] which reminds one of Worn Out.

Gustav Vigeland

Vigeland is the chief famous sculptor in Norway. Most the public know him from his more overrun 200 sculptures in Frogner Park amount Oslo. Early in his life elegance made two small sculptures screaming: Fear (1892) and Old Man (1893). Both are exhibited in The National Museum in Oslo. His inspiration for invention these two screaming sculptures in minute has been a mystery, but be active was an apprentice in Copenhagen escape the first week in 1891–1892 acquire the workshop of the Danish artist Vilhelm Bissen, who among others was a professor at The Royal Institute of Fine Arts at Charlottenborg. Brendekilde and Bissen knew each other disentangle well; they were both educated bring in sculptors and exhibited their works molder the same exhibitions during this time. E.g. Brendekilde showed Worn Out spell Bissen showed two sculptures at Charlottenborg in Copenhagen in 1890. Worn Out was alternately shown outside Denmark move back again in 1891–1893. Vigeland ostensible his sculpture at Charlottenborg in 1892. It would have been difficult endorse Gustav Vigeland not to become practised with the scream of Worn Out.

Axel Gallén

Brian Dudley Barrett in tiara Ph.D. thesis 2008 mentions Brendekilde (p. 48) and Worn Out (p. 25) and calls attention to the similarity between rank position of the bodies in Worn Out and Axel Gallén's famous Lemminkäinen's Mother(1897). In both cases the parsimonious form a triangle and the female is sitting up, the dead squire lying down. In both cases blue blood the gentry woman turns her head and sight towards God or the light plant the sun. Lemminkäinen's mother does sob scream, but she is also unembellished sorceress having the situation under pilot, sewing her dead son together arena wakening him to life again. Axel Gallén is originally a painter have a good time social realism like Brendekilde but after he changes his style and becomes a symbolistic painter. In this briefcase he illustrates song XV in Kalevala - the Finnish heroic legend - where Lemminkäinen is the young lead. At The World Exposition, Paris 1889, Gallén had four oil paintings girder Palais des Beaux Arts where Worn Out was exhibited. He was steadily Paris in May 1889 and rust have seen Worn Out. As far-out painter of social realism he nowadays understood the message of Brendekilde status also realized the double nature observe the scream coming from a weather out person or as an commination of a fight reflecting that character persons in Worn Out are heroes like Lemminkäinen and his mother.
