Take a look into Night-Scene in Figueres

By Salvador Dali, a surrealist artist.

This Portray was produced in 1921. A gouache on board, with its dimensions of 54.9 by 74.1 cm.

This is a portray that i believe is enigmatic. It tells an intriguing tale designed up with distinct tones of blue, with some yellow and brown to distinguish each matter. Dali, might have been encouraged by Picasso’s Blue Period of time from 1901-1904, with the blues existing in his paintings.

The tale I interpret right here is that of a lonely musician entertaining men and women in a cafe. The musician is actively playing a cello, with his eyes shut, disregarding the viewers, as he is swept away with the rhythms of his track. Not a care in the entire world. His expression is that of a male concentrated with taking part in his instrument but also hunting sad or lonely. which is reflected with the portray remaining in shades of blue. on the other hand, the viewers are captured with his songs, seeking at him with admiration. Specifically the men and women at the front tables, halting what they’re executing, as they are enamoured by him, pulled into a meditative state. completely unaware of the musician sadness/loneliness, by means of no fault of their own. Even though the girl to the musicians remaining, is smiling or laughing, dealing with whomever is her companion. All over again likely unaware of the musician. As she is speaking to her companion, getting a entertaining time.

This portray also reminds me of a different portray, which has the use of blue tones. Salvador Dali may perhaps have been impressed by him. This portray is called Aged guitarist by Pablo Picasso. Painted in 1903. It’s an oil on panel, with the proportions of 1.23 m by 83cm.

This was painted through Picasso’s Blue Time period. This was the period when Picasso’s greatest friend had died, so he was depressed and residing in poverty.

It has tons of monochromatic, blue tones that is rendered with a hotter brown colour. When wanting at it the viewer can sense a sense of sorrow and grief for the previous gentleman as he looks lonely reflected in the blue tones and how the guy is sitting. The figure curls and huddled all around the guitar generating him search cramped inside of the body. The guitar that the bad gentleman is holding can recommend the only hope in his daily life or his way of earning funds busking on the streets of Barcelona.
