Artist-composer relationships examined include Debussy’s interest in Whistler, Tuner, and Monet, Franz Liszt’s fascination with Raphael and Michelangelo, Kandinsky with Schoenberg and Paul Klee’s influence from Polyphonic music.
The Music of Paintingexplores how artists attempted to translate musical rhythms, and structures into painting and how musicians developed visual themes.
