Air of Capri (Wegener)

This captivating work captures the essence of the Mediterranean idyll with an inimitable Art Deco touch. Two female figures, one of whom undeniably recalls Lili Elbe, are depicted in gentle, musical intimacy. The woman in the foreground, dressed in black with a delicate white collar, plucks the strings of a guitar, while her red-haired companion leans tenderly towards her. The background offers a stylized view of Capri, with its lemon trees laden with vibrant yellow fruit and the blue sea in the background. The composition plays on the contrasts between the alabaster skin of the models, the bright colors of the lemons and the depth of the clothes. It is a celebration of love, music and the sweetness of Italian life, treated with Wegener’s characteristic graphic elegance.
