In this fascinating study, Peter Vergo reveals how music and painting drew on each other for inspiration and stimulation during the emergence and development of modernism. Explores how artists attempted to translate musical rhythms and structures into painting, and how musicians developed visual themes in their compositions. Analyses individual pieces of music and works of art, from Paul Signac’s musical seascapes and Modeste Musorgsky’s popular piano pieces to Wassily Kandinsky’s abstract paintings and John Cage’s silent works.
An accessible and insightful exploration of ideas, useful to scholars of art history and music, and fascinating to the general reader.
