“Haiku,” an artwork by John Cage, belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and is categorized under the figurative genre.
The artwork features a minimalist design with a central focus on a small portion of music notation. This notation anchors the viewer’s attention within an otherwise expansive and sparsely populated canvas. The visual composition emphasizes precision and clarity, with the musical lines and symbols rendered meticulously. The stark contrast between the densely detailed notation and the void surrounding it invites contemplation and reflection on the nature of sound and silence, aligning with Cage’s philosophical and artistic explorations.
