Zygmunt Waliszewski made this watercolor, Singing boys, with loose brushstrokes and muted tones. I imagine him, maybe in a hurry, trying to capture this fleeting moment of song. Look at the way the colors bleed into each other, like the sounds of the boys' voices blending together. You know what I find so touching? The way the figures emerge from the background, they're not quite fully formed, they are like half-remembered melodies. Notice the gesture of the boy on the right, holding his instrument, it's so tender and tentative. I wonder, was Waliszewski thinking about his own artistic process as he painted these singing boys? Maybe he saw a connection between their voices rising together and his own artistic journey, searching for harmony and expression. I think, in this artwork, Waliszewski teaches us that painting is like singing, it is an embodied expression, a conversation across time.
