Striking bold image of an interpretation of the Sirens. They are the mysterious seductive whispers that are unresistable to the listener. And if one succumbs, they will never come back. Often depicted as mermaids, they were one of the obstacles that Ulysses had to get through on his journey home. He wanted to experience it so he had himself tied to the mast as they sailed through the waters where the Sirens were.
Here they are depicted as swirling bands of color on a deep periwinkle background.
A stunning work by New York artist Rebecca Weinstein, from the late 1990s.
Painting is approximately 28x38 inches, on wood. There are a couple small chips in the edges, barely noticeable.
Ready to hang as is or frame.
