Beethoven's statement, "What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven" may seem arrogant but then again how many people could write and conduct the 9th symphony while profoundly deaf? This piece is made up of quotes from Beethoven about music, substituted for the lines, in an attempt to show that music is what Beethoven was made of.
Wow, His quote evokes such emotion in me, the contrast of this piece being so light, really gives me something to consider.
ReplyDeleteI like how it looks somewhat like parchment...or some kind of old textile. Very nice! Beethoven is a BAMF.
ReplyDeleteThis is really amazing. I would love to learn this technic for future projects that deal with Illustrator stuff.
ReplyDeleteBy your use of this subject you have shown a great example of how an artist has the ability to take what are just abstract symbols to most of us and turn it into something moving and thought provoking.
