3D Portrait of Composer Gyorgy Ligeti . Acrylic Painting on Recycled Beer Cans [Recycled Art]

3D portrait of the wonderful contemporary composer Gyorgy Ligeti (1923-2006). Acrylic on recycled cardboard box and recycled beer cans. The irregularity of the surface distorts the image a great deal and is a reflexion of Ligeti's musical style. The image can only be observed clearly from the front position.

Ligeti has been described as "one of the most important avant-garde composers in the latter half of the twentieth century" and "one of the most innovative and influential among progressive figures of his time".

He is best known by the public through the use of his music in film soundtracks. Although he did not directly compose any film scores, excerpts of pieces composed by him were taken and adapted for film use. The sound design of Stanley Kubrick's films, particularly the music of 2001: A Sapace Odyssey, drew from Ligeti's work.
