We Hear the Cannon by Gerda Wegener
A captivating painting on canvas to dive into the magical exuberance of this sumptuous harem
Deploying an exuberant orientalist imagination, the lush illustration titled “We Hear the Cannon” constitutes a fantastical creation of Art Deco. Exceptional illustrator Gerda Wegener stages a magical harem with particularly intricate graphic arabesques. She offers a visual spectacle saturated with precious details and bold decorative patterns.
The scene gathers several richly adorned figures lounging on a spectacular stack of multicolored cushions with striped, polka-dot, and geometric patterns. A woman in a jeweled turban holds a parrot with green plumage unfurled above her head. Other characters adjust their turbans and pearl jewelry while resting on pink and emerald green draperies. At the bottom of the composition, an elderly man in a white turban and striped outfit contemplates the spectacle in amazement. An elegant hookah and a golden oil lamp rest on the mosaic floor. Golden mashrabiya panels occupy the background.
Gerda Wegener’s talent as an illustrator is manifested in her perfect mastery of India ink and the radiance of flat color areas. Her sense of ornamental detail and narrative fantasy impart hypnotic energy to this work.
