Noise 1980

"Noise" is a 1980 work by American artist Richard Lutzke. The artwork features a dense, abstract composition of black and white musical notes, seemingly cut from old sheet music, collaged together to form a chaotic, seemingly random pattern. The work is an example of abstract art, engaging with the concept of music and sound as visual elements. The use of collaged sheet music suggests a commentary on the nature of noise and its relationship to music. The title "Noise" implies a deliberate rejection of traditional notions of musical harmony and order.
