Frame
The frame is made of high-quality wood, which ensures durability and premium quality. With a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 3 cm, it provides a strong yet elegant frame for paintings of various sizes. A classic frame with a rich golden tone, designed to complement works of art from various periods, including Renaissance to Baroque, and even classical 19th century art. Its exquisite detail and traditional color make it an ideal choice for classic portraits, landscapes and still lifes in warm tones, enhancing the historical and aesthetic value of such works of art.
In The Morphinist, the painter projects the view of a metropolis behind the female figure in the foreground. On the right a black shadowy figure towers over the nude lying there listlessly. The experience of alienation is indicated by the erotic associations alluding to mundane life, and is also strengthened by the beehive-like uniformity of the huge blocks assembled densely in the background. The visions of the woman, as she sinks passively into herself under the influence of morphine, are indicated by the coloured spheres. The montage of events happening at different places and times reflects the influence of the experiments being conducted in the film industry at the time. The head of the Buddha that dominates the left of the painting is a reference both to the search for spiritual solutions to the crises of the day, and to the ornaments that commonly decorated modern apartments. The powerful effect produced by superimposing colourful lines over a light background is similar to that seen in art deco posters and fashion magazines.
