José Rodeiro Mandolins of Amnesia, oil-on-linen, 52’’ x 38,’’ 1982. One of Rodeiro’s first Amnesis works, wherein three beautiful women make music together, singing while two play mandolins, as nude figures dance behind them. The image alludes to Matisse’s Dance (MoMA, NYC, NY) and Piero della Francesca’s Nativity of the Musicians (National Gallery, London). |
