About the Item
Oil on paper laid down to board
Signed William Brown date 1961 below right
Provenance
Felix Landau Gallery LA
Andre Previn Private Collection
Painted in 1961 the year East German authorities begin the construction of the Berlin Wall permanently closing off access to the West for the next 28 years. As the picture can suggest the red wall has just fallen like a large concrete hand sign comes swinging down from above, hitting ground at angle speed and with a deafening sound strikes out the western front. The music stops. Exit the music conductor Walking Against a Red Wall. His arms crossed firmly above his waist. An emerald green tailcoat worn tightly like the straps on a straitjacket. A mixture of hope and stupor. With a clenched jaw he looks away leaving behind the music score, his conductor’s baton firmly held in his hands.
