This painting is by Michael Pattison. It was his first music painting ever, and he donated it to his parents.
The focal point of this image is the colors with the lines that portray great energy and movement. In the center of the painting, there are two people and a piano. One person is playing the piano while the other person seems to be directing the music. Most of this picture is in black. Subtle changes in the shades of black are visible. The lines displayed in this painting are in warm colors. There are different values of red, white, yellow, and orange, which are colors seen in fire. The use of those colors portrays the passion and energy in the painting. The lines move away and then back at the piano, putting the emphasis on both men and the instrument. The random lines going upward into the black look like sparks from a fire. This also brings attention to the energy. The colors contrast and are chiaroscuro. The instrument and the people themselves are displayed with little to no detail and color. This highlights it even more since they are in front of the fiery lines. Even though this image is wild, passionate, and full of energy, there is still harmony in it. The lines that come from the source of the music put great emphasis on the emotions and also show us what kind of music is being played.
This picture might at first seem to not have a narrative, but by looking at it with more caution, the viewer will be able to find a subtle one. This picture portrays two people, in an open field, at night. One of the men is playing the piano while the other one is directing it. They know each other very well, and they are good at making music together. They are most likely brothers and have been through many difficult times in their lives. Music is how they portray their feelings. They put all their passion and energy into it.
