  • In today’s episode, we will be discussing the mysterious art of Sascha Schneider, a German symbolist that the world has largely forgotten about. Sascha Schneider's characters go beyond being mere expressions of homoeroticism, which seems to be the main tag given to his overall body of work; the unique way in which he imagined the beings in his art, really set him aside from other expressionists of his era. With a rich imagination, that sprung from a cultivated mind, Sascha Schneider should have conquered the art world; instead, he got lost in the tumult of history and by the Second World War he became increasingly forgotten. We can change all that, by learning and speaking about his enthralling art!

      Layers in Art repeats the same Schneider illustrations over and over again. A dive into Google Pictures gives much more choice...f.i. the painting of a nude boy in a.mountain meadow getting fight lessons from his with his older tutor. Who is dressed in an ankle-length colorful apron. It's a bit pederast, but both characters are damn sexy... 😊

    Thank you for this very insightful video. I had seen a bit of his work before but went away confused as to it's meaning, so this was very helpful and informative. Having to leave his native country to be himself and safe from prison struck me as very sad but it seems that he prospered from it. Once again, thank you and I look forward to more analysis of the lesser known artists.

    So interesting to get some insight into the artist's thought process. Only by happenstance did I get to hear from the artist's own mouth his views on his own work. I attended a lecture by Felix De Weldon (sculptor of Iwo Jima memorial) at the Naval War College auditorium, Newport, RI. He, too, reflected that he had been good at drawing from a very young age.

    It is difficult for me to select my favorite drawing by Sascha Schneider. But, if I must, then I would pick his drawing entitled Hypnosis (1904).

    Thanks for this intro on his work. I found The Anarchist a very interesting drawing, but I am not sure of S. Schneider´s intention to it. Or should I assume he war against anarchism since he praised the classical way of presentig the male body and so the worid shculd not change?

    • @LayersInArt
      @LayersInArt  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you for watching! You have a good point, but I think he did want the world to change and be more progressive in some ways and not change and keep some thing as they are; the classical way of presenting the male body is one o the things he wouldn't have changed, I think... . Other than that, we can only speculate...

    No matter how you look at his work there is the obvious theme of homoerotica. I’ve no problem with that but some religious people would not approve, however that’s their loss.

  • @willemvandeursen3105
    @willemvandeursen3105 2 місяці тому

    What I miss here, is a remarkable Schneider art work showing Jesus and Mohammed standing side by side, and looking at each other with disdain/suspicion. Right, the painting is titled "Jesus, or Mohammed". A religious clash.
    Both wear long skirts, the Prophet shows bare arms and a bare chest. Jesus is dressed more "decent", he has only a shoulder and an arm bared.
    These days, Muslims will consider the rendering of the Prophet blasphemic. Also, since the 19th century, it is forbidden to show Mohammed or Allah's face...

    • @LayersInArt
      @LayersInArt  2 місяці тому

      Yes, well, that's a cover illustration he did for Karl May, as a commission . I wanted to concentrate more on Schneider's independent work. But its indeed, extremely interesting how the two characters are portrayed (Mohammad has a sword he is prepared to take out if necessary). Thank you for adding the info, its extremely valuable!
