New Realism was an art movement that started in France in 1960 with Pierre Restany writing it's original manifesto which proclaimed: "Nouveau Realisme -new ways of perceiving the real."  This group of artists was interested in new ways in which to create art, and in the process subvert the status quo.  The artist Arman was one of the original founding members and he was known for his "accumulations" and for his destruction/recomposition of ordinary objects.  Arman featured objects with a strong "identity" such as musical instruments, with the violin being his most famous subject matter; and in this work the violin and bow are repeated in yellow, blue, and black onto a single sheet of paper.  This accumulation of the violin allows for the image to no longer be isolated but rather repeated, in order to create an effect of a balanced abstraction composed of multiple arrangements of a violin and it's bow.  Arman has titled this work, "The Bow On The Strings Frees An Explosion Of Sounds," which further enhances the concept of multiple images in order to create not just a single tone, but rather an "explosion of sounds!"
