Catalogue Note
Beschwingt tanzen fünf musenhafte Wesen auf einer Lichtung im Walde umgeben von einem Farbenteppich aus fein nuancierten Pastelltönen in Blau, Rot, Beige und Grau. Baumstämme in schwarz gliedern das Bunt an Farben. Auch Vögel haben sich zur Szene gesellt und scheinen der bezirzenden Musik zu lauschen. Die geschmeidigen Körper der Grazien wiegen sich zu den Klängen einer in ihrer Mitte sitzenden Geigenspielerin. Wunderbar erscheint die ausgewogene Harmonie zwischen den dezenten Farben und den abstrahierten Formen. Der Betrachter ist fröhlich eingeladen das Fest der Schönen zu bewundern.
