The 'Old Masters" APEX
painters from the past
"Musee des Beaux Arts" by W.H. Auden explores the theme of human suffering and the indifference of society towards it. The poem describes the everyday scenes of life continuing on despite the presence of tragedy, reflecting on how people often overlook the pain of others. Auden uses the museum setting to depict the disconnect between public apathy and individual suffering.
Because it puts the focus on the meaning of suffering in the reader's life instead of on Icarus's story
"Musee de Beaux Arts," is a poem written by W. H. Auden. It was written in December of 1938 in Belgium.
Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" can be considered an antiwar poem because it reflects on the theme of suffering and tragedy, highlighting how people carry on with their lives indifferently to the pain and suffering of others. The poem emphasizes the idea of how war and violence can be overlooked or normalized in society, ultimately critiquing the attitudes and responses towards human suffering.
The "Musee des Beaux Arts" communicates the tragic yet inevitable presence of suffering in the lives of humanity, and through the discussion of the painting "Icarus", encourages man to respond with empathy rather than indifference to the suffering of others.
Auden's somewhat mysterious use of children skating on a pond and dogs going on with their doggy life seem irrelevent plots ment to juxtapose the more extraordinary ones, however, if one looks at bruegel's other paintings they can find the images Auden is pulling from.
