Les Bersaerk sont parmis nous 1962

Asger Jorn made this painting, Les Bersaerk sont parmis nous, with oil paint and a heck of a lot of passion! Just look at those strokes, like the artist was wrestling with the canvas. I imagine him pacing, then lunging, each stroke a burst of energy and emotion. The colours are wild, clashing and vibrating, yet somehow they come together to create a powerful portrait. You can almost feel the weight of the paint, the layers building up over time, each one a record of the artist's journey. I'm struck by the raw intensity of it all. It reminds me that painting isn't just about representation; it's about channelling something deeper, something primal. It's like Jorn is saying, "Here's what it feels like to be alive, to be human, to be a berserker!" Painters are always riffing off each other, like musicians in a jam session, pushing boundaries, and exploring new possibilities. We learn from the past, but we're not bound by it. We're free to make our own mistakes, to find our own voice, and to contribute to the ongoing conversation of art.
