About this work
A man with a grey beard and moustache faces the viewer wearing a black-and-red peaked cap with a star insignia and a dark, buttoned coat splashed with stray drops of red, blue, and green paint. Behind him, rows of musical staves and notes are inscribed in orange across a black ground, filling the space like a wall of song.
The palette is restricted to near-black, ash grey, and flame orange, with the pale face the only area of strong light. Thick, worked brushstrokes shape the coat's folds while the musical notation is drawn in flat, graphic line, contrasting the painterly figure with a decorative backdrop and giving the portrait a brooding, symbolic charge.
