Blue Light Visualization with Edvard Munch’s Starry Night

<p>Bring awareness to the memories, thoughts, and emotions evoked during this blue light visualization inspired by Edvard Munch’s Starry Night (1893) and his many uses of the color blue.</p><p></p><p>Munch’s Starry Night is an emotionally charged painting of the coastline in Asgardstrand, Norway, where the artist recalled falling in love. Feelings were an important component to Munch’s artistic practice, and he believed that his abstracted landscapes altered depending on who viewed them. For Munch, color was a particularly powerful tool to express emotions and psychological states.</p><p></p><p>Upon first viewing, the painting appears monochromatic, a wash of blue where sky melts into shore. Further close looking and reflection reveals the nuances in shades and texture of the paint. It is a rich, layered canvas that provokes feelings and invites viewers to engage with their thoughts and memories.</p><p></p><p>You can watch this episode on YouTube here: <a href="https://gty.art/4wZysOS">https://gty.art/4wZysOS</a></p><p></p><p>Find images, a transcript, and more resources on our website: https://www.getty.edu/podcasts/ommm/blue-light-visualization-edvard-munch-starry-night/</p><p></p><p>See the painting in person at the Getty Center: <a href="https://www.getty.edu/visit/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://www.getty.edu/visit/</a> </p><p></p><p>Hear about the history of the color blue in art with author Victoria Finlay in this week’s deeper dive conversation.
