VLADIMIRKUSH.COM Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram HOME / OIL PAINTINGS / KEY TO THE WORLD Key to the World OIL ON CANVAS. ORIGINAL SIZE 18 x 12 in ORDER ONLINE Retiring for the night, the sun turns back and leaves a little reminder – a key hanging on the horn of the crescent moon. Not an ordinary key either, but a golden one, a Sun memento! Down below on the shore of the World Ocean we see a figure looking up imploringly towards the new moon. Its triangular-shaped body and a small round head form a keyhole in the symbolic door that is waiting for the Golden Key to return. In the famous story by Alexey Tolstoy The Golden Key or Adventures of Buratino – a Russian version of the original Italian tale of Pinocchio – the author leads his readers through a Field of Wonders into a 'magic country' where puppets can talk, masks become animated and a 'golden key' unlocks the door of the dream world of joy. There is yet another theme in the painting – a lyrical one. In the space between Heaven-Earth we see a star of the kind that the Russian 19th century poet Alexander Pushkin called 'the star of night, the mournful star'. It appears in the sky to 'waken up the dormant dreams'. The reference is, no doubt, to planet Venus named after the Roman goddess of love. This creates a certain triangle of Supplication – Golden Key – Venus. © 2021 Kush Fine Art Back to top Terms of use / Privacy Policy
