ART OF NOISE

@COOPER HEWITT, SMITHSONIAN DESIGN MUSEUM 13 FEB - 16 AUG 2026 Art of Noise shows how design shapes the way we experience music—how and where we listen to it, how it’s communicated visually, and what we choose to hear. For many people, these design choices feel like a part of the music itself; they become a key part of how we remember and understand sound in a multisensory way—through our ears, our eyes, and our sense of touch.

Paradise is a group of seventeen colored pencil "portraits" by Robert Lucy based upon photographs of young men from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The sitters are anonymous, at least to us, seemingly selected for their attractiveness and the masculine types they represent: gentleman, athlete, explorer, soldier, sailor. The images, for the most part, adhere to the conventions and expectations in place at the time. Sitters dressed for their studio portraits; men often wore suits, formal wear, or military uniforms. They were required to hold their poses for several moments to avoid blurring, which often resulted in a stillness bordering on rigidity. Most often they looked directly at the camera and rarely smiled. Discover more
