Marc Chagall, The Myth of Orpheus (1977)
Chagall made an Orpheus painting?!?!?! This is news to me!
(I love his work. I have a big framed poster of I and the Village hanging in my old room.)

About NNVSNU TSRUNGH
this is a blog about Orpheus. the author is a senior undergraduate at Columbia University.
this blog will serve as an aid to/record of the author's thesis project, which will investigate the depiction of Orpheus throughout the course of musical history. the project will culminate in three concerts and a paper (which will be advertised/made available here). feedback and suggestions on all aspects of the project are welcome.
every now and then i write about my life too, but i try to keep things mostly Orphean here.
"NNVSNU TSRUNGH" roughly translates to "I'm afraid I exist", and is a tip of my hat to the great novelist Russell Hoban, without whose books i would not have found the head of Orpheus.
