Must It Bee fine art print

Part of The Last Quartets art series, The Dare depicts my vision of the fourth movement of Beethoven's last string quartet: opus 135 in F. This movement is titled, "The Difficult Resolution." We get no hint at what this difficult resolution is, just a tantalizing and universal clue. The opening motif of the finale is written out with the question, "must it be?" written beneath it, followed by the second motif written out with an answer, "it must be!" What "it" is is anyone's guess, and so I leave it open in this collage as well.

My vision for the four collages that make up this Beethoven quartet is that bees represent artists and squirrels represent their fans. Are the squirrels giving the bees their acorn house to atone for stealing their honey in the first collage, or are they merely handing over their key to allow the bees to redecorate? Whatever's happening, it appears to be a difficult resolution, but it must bee!

This listing is for a fine art print on archival matte paper. The print continues to the edges with no border and ships rolled from my print on demand company. To flatten, place a heavy book on top for a day or two. Please choose your size below, either 8, 10, or 12 inches.
