Play it Again: An Expression of Music in Fine Art

Britto utilizes his stylized approach to composition in this work, displaying twisting beams of stripes and colors enveloping his characters, while they are engaged in a romantic moment of a dance. These remarkable patterns are repeated in the mixture of designs we can see on the female figure’s outfit, merging the landscape and the foreground into one bold gesture. The artist has included musical notes within these structures, suggesting that they perhaps symbolize the music they have been dancing to, or maybe, more literally, the background could be an abstraction of sheet music, up for the viewer to interpret.
