oil, canvas, 190 x 135 cm, signed and described on the back: 'TAMARA BERDOWSKA | FUGUE I'

The featured painting is one of five from the series of Fugues , comprising the artist's graduation work, which is a kind of symphony for the whole range of shades of blue.
A fugue is a polyphonic piece and is one of the most artful musical structures.
In the exposition, the melodic theme of the fugue resounds in unison. Having finished the theme, the first voice begins to weave side plots, and the theme is taken over in turn by the second voice, the third voice, and so on. The rule is that the full theme must sound in the exposition as many times as there are voices in the fugue, which pick up the theme and run with it. Hence the name of the fugue - escape. (...) In the ending of the fugue, or coda, the theme returns to its original form and tonality. The theme of the fugue is the same, but when it passes from one voice to another it changes in many details and interests us differently each time.
