The Leonardo of Landscape Painting: Lars Hertervig and the Rejuvenation in Primal Images

Jan-Ove Tuv, Sebastian Salvo & Alastair Blain sit down to talk about the 19th century landscape painter Lars Hertervig and the mythic potential of the landscape. Topics discussed in this episode: • Hertervig's dreamlike vision vs Constable's recreation of soil • Painting despite lack of social advantages • Was Hertervig "insane" or highly intelligent? • Rejuvenation in timeless images • Hertervig's clouds: pure fantasy, or did he actually look at nature? • Myths describe reality way more accurately • The advantages of painting landscapes in the studio • Plein-air plus eighty five percent black • Combining realism and symbols, empiricism and poetry • Elements in the story that are too personal get cut away • The subject has to strike you first, then it can become archetypal • When your unconscious gets pretentious… • Neurotic myth deniers • Your love or interest for it makes it archetypal ▶ Full video: https://www.patreon.com/caveofapelles 🎵 Full audio: https://caveofapelles.com/podcast Filmed and edited by Bork S.
