Dance of the Seven Veils
# A comic strip in 7 episodes on the life of Richard Strauss 1864-1949
π Overview:
Russellβs composer biopics were usually labours of love. This was the opposite: he regarded Straussβs music as 'bombastic, sham and hollow', and despised the composer for claiming to be apolitical while cosying up to the Nazi regime. Strauss is depicted in a variety of grotesquely caricatured situations: attacked by nuns after adopting Nietzscheβs philosophy, duels with jealous husbands, literally batters his critics into submission with his music, and glorifies the women in his life and fantasies.
