Internationally acclaimed, Music's works command a particular authority in the context of the vital mixing of cultures and of the fearsome ethnic conflicts that have shaped and reshaped national boundaries in the Balkans. Combined with his personal experience as a political prisoner in Dachau, the artist's origins made him profoundly empathetic toward victims of global strife, leading to the series of works he called We are not the last (Nous ne sommes pas les derniers). This series reinterprets drawings of the dead that Music had originally made during his two-year internment at the concentration camp where he was sent after his arrest by the Gestapo for anti-German activity in Venice in 1944.
