Composers & performers of music are prone to consider themselves number two & three, after their musical instrument. Looking at Modigliani's cellist we're somehow unsure whether it is him who is playing the instrument, who brings the cello to life. Even in a more obvious case of violin when the musician sometimes appears almost like an acrobat, we feel that it is, as if, the instrument transforms the player into its angelic marionette, not a performer - the instrument into living music. That's why Modigliani's cellist is, as if, enveloping it with caring dedication. Can it be the case that the cello player is listening to his mutuality with cello's voice as Modigliani - to the cellist's togetherness with music? Isn't the same thing happening with the painter when the magic combination of his brush & canvass, or his pencil & paper or any combination of hand & surface in front of his eyes becomes the very perception opened as our throats to the air to inhale? The strings of the cello & the bow & the "wooden box" of the cello's body are transformed into the larynx of the universe. Modigliani gives his protagonist a preferential treatment - he identifies with him, he withdraws in front of the cellist's music in reverie for a medium of art different from that of his own. Following the auditory concentration of the cellist , Modigliani intentionally makes the visual pallet of the painting dull & inexpressive (for example, he reduces the background pattern behind the musician into a barely discernible certainty). The painter kneels before the unity of the cellist & the music he makes his cello produce/his cello makes him create. Let's look at the painting again. Like a painter's studio looks like a disorderly workshop, the interior where the cellist works is, as if, visually reduced to non-significance. It is the music that destroys the very idea of human interior - it is, as though, turns it off. Interior stops to exist when lovers make love. The cellist follows the cello, which moves not in space but in time, moves without space. Instead of space we, as if, see what is inside the cello, area which looks trivial only in visual terms - it's just for listening. But what
