The dark, disturbing, surrealistic art of Zdzislaw Beksinski

submitted by kronosposeidon

1 decade 6 years 2 months 1 week ago

Somber music attends this montage of paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński. EDIT: Sifter sometimes informs me that some of the images are not by Beksinski. Still, it's cool art, whoever created them.

Is that the score from Evil Dead 1?

^I'm not sure where the score is from or who wrote it. In the YT description they mention "Beksinski vs Shining". Does he mean the movie "The Shining"? And the video is titled "Beksinski feat Kubrick". So does that mean the music is from a Kubrick film? I don't know the answer to either. The music sounds vaguely familiar to me, but that's all I can tell you. Maybe another Sifter will chime in with the answer.

about half of those are not Beksinski.
The one shown in the thumbnail view is by De Es.
Most, if not all the artists shown there are available here http://morpheusgallery.com/

I may be mistaken, but I think the music is Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique.
No idea who it is performed by though.

ya, pretty sure this song is from the shining.

Confirmed. It's Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, and it's used in the Shining:

Youtube videos are definitely not the ideal place to look at his work, given the stunning amount of detail that goes into his pieces.. By all means, do a search or go to the links already provided if you're interested!
