The Ballad of Blind Love (Or of Vanity) - Fabrizio De Andrè | 1966 - Quadrisonanti

A painting you can listen to.

Fabrizio De André's La Ballata Dell'Amore Cieco (O Della Vanità) (1966) is much more than a work of art to hang on the wall. It's a complete sensory experience: frame the QR code printed on the painting with your smartphone and let yourself be carried away by the musical piece that inspired this work.

A geometric and minimalist style, with a palette of cool whites, grays, and carmine red, tells of the blindness of love and the power of vanity. A blindfolded male figure — his eyes covered by a black strip — is guided by a female hand emerging from a red space, while the floor cracks beneath his feet. Lines taut as puppet strings hold back those who don't want to — or can't — see. An image suspended between control and abandonment, just like the song that inspired it.
