Sketch for the painting Szopen [Chopin]

Chopin appears as a formidable creaive artist. In the concentrated focus of the demonic facial features, one distinguishes intoxication with creative power, as well as the power of God - the Creator, creating new, unknown, autonomous entities. Chopin, listening intently, caught up in playing, overcome by the passion of the music, becomes absent-minded, immersed in the purest form of sounds. Weiss shows the "naked state of the soul", a unique moment of creatio ex nihilo.
