"Music Master" by Michael Parkes
Limited Edition Stone Lithograph
A symphony of elegance, playfulness, and sensuality—Michael Parkes’
Music Master
orchestrates a scene where fantasy and artistry merge into a masterpiece of visual storytelling. This exquisite stone lithograph captures the delicate yet humorous interplay between a muse and her devoted maestro, each playing their role in a performance unlike any other.
At the heart of the composition stands a strikingly poised figure, her back turned yet exuding an undeniable presence. With an air of classical beauty, she is both the inspiration and the instrument—her delicate form seemingly attuned to the rhythm of creation. The whimsical Music Master, a character straight from a dream, tenderly guides his cello, lost in the art of his performance, his expression one of adoration and reverence. Surrounding them, swans and symbolic elements whisper of transformation, harmony, and the balance between control and surrender.
Rendered with Parkes’ signature precision and masterful use of lithography,
Music Master
is a poetic ode to the relationship between artist and muse, music and motion, reality and imagination. A must-have for collectors, this work will bring both sophistication and a touch of Parkes’ dreamlike humor into any space.
