About this artwork
This sculpture is part of a trio inspired not only by the composer’s appearance, but by the character of their music. Form, rhythm and structure are translated into a sculptural language of planes, tension and balance.
Each bust is reduced to a few essential lines and planes, capturing its character with precision and restraint.
A subtle detail on the reverse connects each work to its musical origin.
Ludwig van Beethoven
A form that resists and… renews, driven by rhythm, force and inner urgency. Strong angular planes create a sense of tension and direction, echoing the intensity of his music.
On the reverse, the first four notes of his Fifth Symphony are embedded as a quiet but unmistakable reference.
