books0977: Figures in an Interior: Music (1896). Édouard Vuillard (French, 1868-1940). Glue-based paint on canvas. Musée du Petit Palais.Music is one of four panels painted by Vuillard for the apartment of Doctor Henri Vaquez in Paris. For a room that was undoubtedly used as a library, Vuillard devised a subtle visual interplay between the pictures themselves, and the walls covered with the wallpaper that was their extension. The figures that appear in this panel are imaginary doubles of the occupants of the place. They blend into the multi-coloured mass of fabrics and wallpapers, which bring to mind the “mille-fleurs” tapestries of the Late Middle Ages. -- source link
