Description
Philippe Corner’s "One Note Once" (1982) is a minimalist exploration of repetition and musicality, expressed through paint on canvas. Measuring 100 × 70 × 2 cm, this unique work likely reflects Corner’s background in experimental music and visual art, emphasizing the concept of a single "note" held in time and space. The title suggests a focus on simplicity, where one isolated element—the "note"—becomes an anchor for contemplation. The sparse, abstract approach encourages viewers to engage deeply with form and sound in a visual context, bridging auditory and visual perception through the meditative power of minimalism.
