"Kounellis’ early paintings of the 1960s were inspired by words and graphics found in street signs. He connected his practice with performance from the very start, thinking of the words and letters he painted as poems or scores to read out loud. He later introduced music in his paintings, installations and performances. Kounellis often used the theme of music to reconcile memory with the present moment." - TATE, "Jannis Kounellis, Untitled 1971 performed"
