An Optical Poem (1938)
An innovative exploration of visual music unfolds as shapes dance to Liszt's "Second Hungarian Rhapsody." The artwork comprises primarily two-dimensional figures—circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles—moving in sync with the melody. A vibrant palette transitions from red to blue, featuring red circles against a blue backdrop, light blue squares, and white rectangles. As the music evolves, so do the shapes, reflecting the recurring themes in a captivating rhythm. The piece culminates with rapid staccato notes, leaving viewers mesmerized by this artistic interpretation of sound and vision.
