EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and chaotic lithograph captures the essence of disorder and chaos in a whimsical and humorous way. The title, "How sour sweet music is when time is broke and no proportion kept," sets the tone for the scene depicted - men busking badly with musical instruments.
The postcard from the early 20th century shows a group of men, young boys, and children attempting to play music in a disorganized manner. The lack of control and untidiness adds to the satirical nature of the drawing, creating a comical yet scathing satire on the concept of proportion and order.
The colorful illustration brings to life Shakespeare's quote from Richard II, highlighting how even something as sweet as music can turn sour when time is not kept in check. The juxtaposition of chaos and musicality creates an intriguing visual narrative that invites viewers to reflect on themes of balance, harmony, and comedic absurdity.
Overall, this print by Phil May offers a playful interpretation of disorder through a lens of humor and creativity. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it's okay to embrace chaos and imperfection in our lives, finding beauty in unexpected places.
