Otto Friedrich Hungarian 1862-1937
Fugato , 1913
Tempera on canvas
Friedrich …made five paintings, each named after a style of music, to decorate the entrance to a music room. When exhibited in Vienna in 1913, they caught the attention of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky ( 1879-1940), who wrote: “ It is difficult to state the ‘content’ of [the] pictures in general…where paint and lines are meant to serve as the embodiment, not of painted, but of musical images…nobly passionate women’s bodies, and strong intense men’s bodies… speak in a language of clear and pure harmony.”
