This painting is part of Edward B. Gordon's
tribute to his acting teacher. It has several paintings and a lovely written tribute (scroll to the bottom for the English). I love the teacher just from the tribute, especially this bit.
He was not a big fan of Stanislavsky. „Method Acting“ was just as absurd to him as painting by numbers for a painter. Why should you experience something real when you could play it? Acting is not real, it should never be. It is a game that may become the mirror of the soul of the audience. Reality is transformed, a board becomes a jeweled sword. An old limping man becomes a young Romeo, an inconspicuous girl a powerful queen, that’s the magic of acting.
Yes.
