The Great Learning plays on the title of the influential score of the same name by the radical 60's composer and musician Cornelius Cardew, who brought music and visual art closely together in this work. The Great Learning [1969–1970] owe their visual eloquence to his practice as a graphic artist, and his improvisational and group work was made with an awareness and connection to Flux art. Facsimile of manuscript, size 420x263mm, 23 pages

“Deeply rooted in the composer’s radical left-wing politics and notions of community and collective participation, ‘The Great Learning’ stands among the most important compositions of the 20th Century avant-garde.”
