About this Work

A companion piece to Blue Guitar, this work saturates the same instrument in deep magentas and violets against a luminous gold-tinged ground. The purple palette lends the composition a more brooding, introspective quality — where Blue Guitar pulses with energy, Purple Guitar invites quiet contemplation.
