Simon Fujiwara’s painting refers to Marc Chagall's 1923–24 painting Green Violinist. Fujiwara's ongoing body of work recreates iconic art works by famous, historically significant artists through the perspective of his original cartoon figure Who the Bær.
Fujiwara's Who is the Green Violinist? draws closely on Chagall's work, but transforms all figures into representations of his character Who. The central violinist has the features of Who, with his long tongue twining around the instrument.
