Hands of a violinist

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Tate Gallery (London, England).

The image of the hand of a violinist playing an instrument is a continuation of the artist’s experiments in the technique of simultaneity. From childhood, the artist had a direct connection with the world of music, and, probably, thanks to this managed to achieve a stunningly plausible reflection of the real movement of the musician during a concert and the vibration of the musical instrument. The picture looks extremely dynamic; it seems to radiate music, vitality and energy. The unusual framing of the canvas is also of interest. Black and white diagonal drapery resembles a violinist costume or a concert curtain.
