Liberation

Oil Painting by Vakhtang Kakulia

The previous painting in this gallery of oil paintings by Vakhtang Kakulia was entitled "Guitarist". This painting also features a guitar in the artwork, but there is no reference to it this time in the title. The guitar is actually broken, and it looks a bit like it was deliberately smashed. The title "Liberation" might then suggest an escape from the demands of playing or learning the guitar, or an obsession with playing the guitar perhaps. In the painting if you look hard enough, you'll see the bust of a woman facing away from us with long flowing black hair. Is that one last guitar string that runs from her back to the guitar? The painting seems to be full of symbolism.
