Schoenberg Prints:
a multimedia response to his Second String Quartet
My initial inspiration for the main visual aspect of this project were some playing cards I saw in the Schoenberg exhibition at the Leopold Museum. The composer had designed and created various toys and games that were on display, and I was especially struck by the imagery on one of three sets of playing cards he had illustrated.
