The Singing Statue, 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Frits van den Berghe that exudes an air of enchantment and whimsy. Set against a vibrant backdrop, the artwork depicts a seated statue with its eyes closed, lost in the melody of its own song. The statue's expressionism and surrealistic elements give it an otherworldly quality, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The artist skillfully captures the essence of happiness and kindness through this musical sculpture. The figure emanates generosity as it shares its melodic gift with those who encounter it. A colorful bird perched on the statue's shoulder adds to the sense of magic, symbolizing freedom and joy. Van den Berghe's use of bold colors creates an atmosphere brimming with life and energy. Each brushstroke seems to vibrate with emotion, infusing the painting with a sense of movement that brings both character and music to life. This artwork pays homage to Oscar Wilde, one of Ireland's most celebrated writers from the 19th century. It evokes his fairy tales and children's literature by presenting us with a fictional character brought into existence through paint on canvas. "The Singing Statue" invites viewers into a world where art transcends boundaries – where statues can sing melodies that touch our souls. It serves as a reminder that music has the power to uplift spirits, evoke emotions, and transport us to places beyond our imagination.
