About The Artwork
Though freely atonal, Pierrot lunaire marks a return to counterpoint and looks forward to the ordered atonality of serialism. However, the aspect of Schoenberg's Expressionist style which had the greatest impact on later composers was his conception of music as a free, twelve-tone chromatic field where any configuration of pitches could act as a "norm." Contextual music, where each work defines its own particular vocabulary and method, can only be understood in terms of these new, wider limits. Au clair de la lune, Mon ami Pierrot The work is a melodrama, a form popular at the time, consisting of poetry spoken against an instrumental background. Schoenberg's title describes the work as "three times seven poems by Albert Giraud in German translation by Otto Erich Hartleben." Pierrot lunaire is the last important work of Schoenberg's Expressionist period (1907 to World War I ). Schoenberg (1874-1951) reached musical maturity in Vienna, the home of Freud and the Expressionist art movement that dominated Germany and Austria during the early twentieth century. Expressionism is generally defined as art in which representation of nature is subordinated to expression of emotion. Certain Expressionist artists favoured non-representational images to project emotions directly, without interference from the "outside" world. At about the same time that Wassily Kandinsky painted his first non-objective paintings, Schoenberg abandoned tonality. Music during this period seemed to pour out from a deep level of his psyche. In his Expressionist masterpiece, Erwartung ("Expectation") Op.17 (1909), the hysteria of a woman's terror-stricken search for her lover is evoked by a fragmented, stream-of-consciousness text faithfully mirrored by turbulent, athematic, atonal music in free, prose-like rhythm.

Germany
The idea of a suitcase is not accidental and not new. In 2016, we held a small exhibition in the city of Odessa, in the art salon "Exclusive". It was attended by about 100 people from Odessa, as well as from other cities. A number of video clips were created by Vasily Yolokhov and Leonid Bagriy on this topic. The main condition was not the idea, not the style and not the technique, but the size, which would imply the ability to take the work away in a suitcase. Today, this topic is more relevant than ever. During the war, many leaving their homes took with them the most valuable and necessary, and it is in such a situation that the idea becomes relevant, because most people have that single most valuable painting that they never want to part with. Of course, the size of the suitcase can also be different, so they planned to reveal the idea further, the next step is will become an eskit in a suitcase, with access to works of a large size. So you want to have your art in a suitcase.
