   The picture represents visually effective metaphorical research of interaction between visual associations, and musical sounding of a popular song in the recent past. Song The House of the Rising Sun (the rising sun House) became popular thanks to its execution in 1965 group The Animals. Song action occurs in New Orleans.

    Performed by the British group The Animals this song occupied the first lines of charts as the USA, and Great Britain in 1964; this version was included (under № 123) into the List of 500 best songs of all times of magazine Rolling Stone (2004).

   There is a set of variants of a song in which the plot considerably varies. In all variants the hero narrates about how has ruined the life in "the Rising sun" house, and warns against such destiny; however in different variants this that the woman (including in the initial folklore version), the man (including in version The Animals). «The rising sun House» one understand as a brothel, the third as a tavern or the gambling house.

   While many places in New Orleans apply for "the Rising sun" rank, archaeological researches in the street Konti, the house 535, in a place which in documentary sources is specified as a site of "Rising sun Hotel» in 1820th years, have added a bit more information to debate about an origin of New Orleans.

   Besides The Animals, many actors have written down versions «The House of the Rising Sun». This resonant product for the American executors of a blues, фолка and the country, such significant names as Lid Belli, Vudi Gatri, Dzhosh White and Libbi Hilman, have embodied the versions in first half 20th centuries.

   There are also other versions of an origin of a song. The first known record of a song performed by duet Tom Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster concerns 1934.

Probably Using bright structures, courageous colour scores and symbolical images, the artist has created the Picture in style of metaphysical realism which invites to reflexion about the nature of melodic courses and sounds in there is no time a popular song.

   In the composition centre - a stain reminding a building against an orange disk, but not being a direct illustration of the house which suggests about the physical world where there lives the sun. The disk - also is the formal image of the sun. On it иллюстративность comes to an end. There are three more trees which are important for composition maintenance, and for senses they are not important.

   Contrast between a flat background and the foreground rich with structures creates intended division between ordinary and fantastic. It is poetical and visually bright work which sings of beauty and complexity of subconsciousness. Demands not a superficial glance, and attention to nuances: to a play of light, dynamics of the lines, the latent contrasts, and perceives this information everyone already through own associations.
