What an incredible introduction to your channel! Thank you so much for exposing me and all of us to Schneider‘s work, I look forward to viewing your other videos.
I do not agree, @user-pw4rw3nz7y 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.
Thank you for watching and writing such kind words. Like I said in the video, there is much inspiration to be drawn from the life and work of Sascha Schneider and great artists, in general. There is more to come, hope it will be just as interesting!
I liked your commentary. I was particularly drawn to what you said for “A Feeling of Dependence” (17.50min): being shackled to something that is both “a need and an impediment at the same time”. Interesting. How did you reach this conclusion? Is it based on a school of psychology? This is the best video on Schneider on youtube!
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.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write your thoughts. As far as the artist's thought process is concerned, it is indeed a rare privilege to hear first hand from the artists themselves. If not, much of the art remains free for interpretation.
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). Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New York/Belgrade
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?
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...
@@LayersInArt Well, imagination is a wonderful thing . . . but it isn't given to everyone . . . AND, one person's imagined paradise might be another's imagined hell!
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...
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!
@@LayersInArt 😁...And Jesus seems to think, "I can take you on, bully!" Have you considered to do a post about N C Wyeth? I know that "splatter" painters Jackson Pollock and Wiilem de Kooning sell better to museums, but I love Wyeth a lot more.
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.

An excellent introduction to Sascha Schneider! The images are engaging & provocative! Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New. York

A stunning study of Schneider's art. Thank you!
Thank you, also, for watching and I'm really glad you found it interesting!
Very interesting, great artist, pleasant commentator. All good , thank you
So glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
I don't recall ever hearing about Schneider, but some of his works do look familiar. Thanks for the introduction.
Thank you for watching, there is more to come!
Thank you for covering this artist . Such beautiful images . From an ex art teacher in Christchurch New Zealand .
Thank you also, for watching the video and taking time to write - it really means a lot to hear this from an ex art teacher!
Thank you for your comment . You are welcome .
Thank you for your comment . You are welcome .🙂
Previously unknown to me and thank you for the episode 🇿🇦🌹
You are welcome and thank you for watching!
Atmospheric and esthetic arts ❤
This is a wonderful discovery, thank you!!!! Is there a biography abut him in English?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, all the material I could find was in German and much of it linked to the collaboration with Karl May
Holy cow, says a lot about the climate of Saint Petersburg when the family moves to Switzerland for a warmer climate.
Couldn't agree more!

Hypnosis is indeed one of his very best works!
Thanks!
Thank you also, for watching!
Grazie, thanks 🌌
Prego!☀
How interesting! Always such muted colours, if any.
I guess he didn't need much color to create a powerful impression. Thank you for watching and writing your thoughts!
Fascinating drawings full of imagination and mysticism and thankfully not religion.
They are truly fascinating and full of symbolism! Thank you for watching!

I find them deeply frightening.....
They are!
That was the intention in the first place maybe?
Strange . . . very strange. The ones with beasts and men remind me of Maurice Sendak's work . . . .
Very true. It makes you wonder how did Schneider imagine these characters, very strange indeed.
@@LayersInArt Nightmares after his Mum read him to sleep with Sendak??😱
@@richardcleveland8549 I'm also inclined to think the same, the evidence is there😄

@@richardcleveland8549 very true!
William Blake was never knighted,so he was always just MR William Blake, not SIR William Blake.
Yes, you are right, thank you for watching and mentioning that!
I don't want to see into his mind for even a second
A scary place, indeed!
