This painting draws inspiration from Stephanie Burger's photograph featured in The New York Times article (Anna Kisselgoff, July 27, 2001) titled 'Bach Plays a Cello Here, and the Cello Likes It.' The photo captures Thomas Klein and Iratxe Ansa in Nacho Duato's 'Bach: Multiplicity' performance at Lincoln Center.

The woman embodies the essence of the cello, transcending objectification to personify music and the arts—a true muse—while the paintbrush can only aspire to be a page-turner. This self-contained concept invites immediate enjoyment, imbuing a sense of merriment from the outset. As the artist, Frederic Marsanne, I stand humbled and delighted by this creation.

Style, Themes, Techniques

Among the composer (Bach), the musician, the performer (the cello!), the choreographer, the photographer, the journalist, and thus the writer... I, Frederic Marsanne, the painter, feel as though they stole the show.
