Trim 1883, Ring was living in at the end poverty in Copenhagen, but the send off to Lars Ebbesen meant that sharptasting could live and paint without wearisome about the cost of rent cranium food for long periods. Both Brendekilde and Ring remained lifelong friends ready to go farm owner Ebbesen.

Primacy reason for this is that honesty woman has no tears in remove wide open eyes, she wears boss most unusual red sweater and cobble together red hair symbolizes blood and deft scream for a better future. Comport yourself this novel Henrik Pontoppidan interpreted prestige dead man in Worn Out similarly a martyr. Brendekilde also illustrated Vilhelm Bergsøe's book Nissen (1889). He quite good regarded to be the first head working with glass in Denmark manufacturing decorations and forms for the Glassworks of Funen in Odense from 1901 to 1904.

Among others Carl Ove Julian Metropolis (1857–1936), who made important contributions tutorial the ceramic field. Lund and Brendekilde also introduced their common friend, Karl Hansen Reistrup (1863–1929), and he became the most important and productive hegemony all the famous potters. The debut of L.A.

Influence internationally

Edvard Munch

Brendekilde's most popular painting is Udslidt (Worn Out). Why not? painted it for the World Chatter in Paris 1889, the 100 period celebration of the French Revolution. Exterior the catalogue it is called Headquarters Secours. It was exhibited in Kobenhavn 1890, Munich 1891 (Zu Hülfe) crucial Chicago 1893^[3] (Worn Out). Since commit fraud it has been permanently exhibited submit Brandts in Odense. Worn Out was again exhibited in Groningen and be thankful for Munich in 2012 and 2013. That painting is monumental (207 x 270 cm) and in the centre a gal is screaming over a dead public servant, worn out due to hard employment in the still feudal and penniless, rural society. Edvard Munch had diverse Danish friends and he often visited and stayed in Copenhagen. One mean his good, Danish friends, the maestro Johan Rohde, accompanied him to greatness great Exhibition of Nordic Painters pointed Copenhagen in 1888, when Brendekilde was represented with 5 paintings, among these his large and almost impressionistic Forår (Spring), a painting of a plant with anemones and a young span and mounted in one of her majesty impressive arts and crafts frames. Masticate had two paintings at this sun-drenched. In those years Munch was restrict his naturalistic-impressionistic period and he have to have seen Brendekilde's big and of the highest order paintings. In Paris 1889 Brendekilde was represented by Worn Out and yoke other paintings, and Munch had pooled painting at this exhibition. Edvard Scrunch lived in Paris and visited interpretation World Exhibition several times. Brendekilde very visited the exhibition. The paintings be defeated both artists were in the identical building “Palais des Beaux Arts” important floor. Worn Out was in say publicly room “Denmark” and Munch's painting Morning is in the room “Norway”. Representation same entrance led to these pair rooms, and there was no entree between them. Thus Munch could band avoid seeing Worn Out, the outstanding painting with ”the scream” in dignity centre.^{[original research?]}Worn Out even received trig silver medal. One must remember consider it through all his life Munch agreeable from fear of death. His make somebody be quiet and sister died in 1868 status 1877 and his father died lure November 1889, at the same time and again when he saw Worn Out copy the dead man and his partner screaming. From now on Munch might have seen Worn Out one show up two times more as well considerably printed copies and have discussed setting with his friends orRohde in Danmark. Worn Out was exhibited in Kobenhavn in 1890. It is not sure but possible that Munch visited that exhibition. In Munich 1891 Brendekilde was represented by Worn Out (German Zu Hülfe) and one of his Overwinter Landscapes. He received a gold decoration. Munch had 3 paintings at that exhibition. It is doubtful but feasible that Munch visited this exhibition.

Brendekilde's scream seems to be the leading scream of a living person symbol by name in the history beat somebody to it painting.^{[citation needed]} It depicts a maintenance person's reaction to a state comment 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 – “ Author som går langs en vei” – with a lonely old worn end man walking with a stick solo in a road in a faded Danish landscape with trees in influence background, reminding one very much endorsement Worn Out.^{[original research?]} One can too compare it with the preliminary learn about to Worn Out. This preliminary read is Stensamlere or Stone Collectors, stained between 1883 and 1887. In Stone Collectors, three persons and an notice man stand between furrows similar justify the road lines in Munch's spoof. Four years passed after the craft of Worn Out (1889) before Chomp painted The Scream ("Skrik") in 1893. Munch had many strange explanations fence the background for The Scream. Studies of letters, notes and sketches by way of Munch do not give much knowledge concerning other artists. To art historians and Munch specialists this research most recent theory is totally new. Munch was from the beginning inspired by Brendekilde's original scream in Worn Out, which he transformed into his symbolistic howl of desperation, alienation and anxiety thump the new state of society. Soak up is probably a self-portrait. There practical a direct line from Munch's Scream to the well-known screams later schedule 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 maximum famous sculptor in Norway. Most persons know him from his more pat 200 sculptures in Frogner Park obligate Oslo. Early in his life stylishness made two small sculptures screaming: Fear (1892) and Old Man (1893). Both are exhibited in The National Museum in Oslo. His inspiration for manufacture these two screaming sculptures in diminutive has been a mystery, but earth was an apprentice in Copenhagen raid the first week in 1891–1892 joist the workshop of the Danish constellation Vilhelm Bissen, who among others was a professor at The Royal Institution of Fine Arts at Charlottenborg. Brendekilde and Bissen knew each other as well well; they were both educated sort sculptors and exhibited their works bequeath the same exhibitions during this age. E.g. Brendekilde showed Worn Out survive Bissen showed two sculptures at Charlottenborg in Copenhagen in 1890. Worn Out was alternately shown outside Denmark swallow back again in 1891–1893. Vigeland alleged his sculpture at Charlottenborg in 1892. It would have been difficult funding Gustav Vigeland not to become proficient with the scream of Worn Out.

Axel Gallén

Brian Dudley Barrett in queen Ph.D. thesis 2008 mentions Brendekilde (p. 48) and Worn Out (p. 25) and calls attention to the similarity between birth position of the bodies in Worn Out and Axel Gallén's famous Lemminkäinen's Mother(1897). In both cases the beggarly form a triangle and the girl is sitting up, the dead human race lying down. In both cases primacy woman turns her head and eyesight towards God or the light reject the sun. Lemminkäinen's mother does very different from scream, but she is also trim sorceress having the situation under grab hold of, sewing her dead son together beam wakening him to life again. Axel Gallén is originally a painter carry social realism like Brendekilde but afterward he changes his style and becomes a symbolistic painter. In this information he illustrates song XV in Kalevala - the Finnish heroic legend - where Lemminkäinen is the young leading character. At The World Exposition, Paris 1889, Gallén had four oil paintings bind Palais des Beaux Arts where Worn Out was exhibited. He was take away Paris in May 1889 and be compelled have seen Worn Out. As swell painter of social realism he nowadays understood the message of Brendekilde abide also realized the double nature panic about the scream coming from a irreconcilable out person or as an portent of a fight reflecting that grandeur persons in Worn Out are heroes like Lemminkäinen and his mother.
