Andrée Bars"Cold Case: The Disappearance of Arthur in the Stars", Symbolist Oil Painting
About the Item
Titled "Cold Case: The Disappearance of Arthur in the Stars," this intriguing oil painting presents a visual narrative reminiscent of a detective's investigation board. The composition features a collage of historical and mythical references meticulously pinned and connected with red string, evoking the sense of an ongoing investigation into the mysterious disappearance of King Arthur.
At the center of the painting, a map of Britain is prominently displayed, indicating key locations significant to the Arthurian legend. Surrounding the map are various illustrative elements: an image of King Arthur himself, depicted in regal armor with a crown; an illustration of medieval knights and a battle scene; a constellation chart suggesting a cosmic connection; and a depiction of the legendary Round Table, hinting at the camaraderie and secrets of Arthur’s knights.
The lower right corner reveals a crime scene photograph, complete with an outlined body and a sword, suggesting the weapon and location tied to the mystery. Fingerprints and other forensic details add a modern twist to this historical enigma, blending the past and present in a quest for truth.
The handwritten notes and questions, such as “complot?” (conspiracy), “apparition/disparition” (appearance/disappearance), and “arme et lieu du crime” (weapon and crime scene), draw the viewer into the investigative process, inviting them to ponder the fate of the legendary king.
This painting skillfully combines elements of historical fantasy with modern detective fiction, creating a captivating narrative that sparks curiosity and imagination. It is a testament to the enduring intrigue of King Arthur’s legend and the quest to uncover the truth behind the myths.
Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition. She still applies these ancient masters’ technics on her art. Each painting contains at least three layers of oil paint. Andrée Bars applies her skills to hyper-realism on surrealist ideas.
Although her paintings copy the reality to the extreme, they can not be qualified in a simple term of hyperrealism nor of trompe-l’oeil style, her artworks distinguish themselves for a kind of mysterious sweetness they convey to the spectator.
