Music to Be Seen (Open Edge Series) 1976

"Music to Be Seen (Open Edge Series)" is a 1976 artwork by Ulfert Wilke, an American abstract artist born in 1907. This piece is part of his "Open Edge Series" which explored the relationship between visual and sonic experiences, with a focus on music. It is created using bold black lines against a dark grey background, creating a visual symphony of intersecting shapes and abstract forms. The interplay of white lines against the dark background is reminiscent of a musical score, emphasizing the artist's exploration of music as a visual art form. This dynamic and layered design makes the artwork visually stimulating, inviting the viewer to engage with the interplay of shapes and lines, and potentially interpret their own musical meaning from the visual composition.
