Witold Wojtkiewicz - Circus - In Front of a Miniature Theatre - 1906
Légende
In Circus - In Front of a Miniature Theatre, Wojtkiewicz does not put the viewer in the shoes of a neutral observer of the stage, but throws them into the very middle of the action – as we stand in front of the canvas, we enter the titular theatre and all eyes are on us: clowns behind masks twisted in an unnatural smile, an apathetic old woman behind a counter, dolls brought to life, and other viewers emerging from an undefined space in the centre of the picture. The clown trumpeter is the only one who comes out to greet us. However, it is difficult to call this a warm welcome when the other characters hide behind the curtains or remain still and full of tension like a group of ghastly props. The place itself is decorated with colourful balloons and festoons, but the interior bathed in brown-orange and green-blue tones give the impression of a dusty, sunken kennel.- Author: Piotr Policht
