  • - Art and Music from Wagner to Cage
    av Simon Shaw-Miller
    366,-

    This thoughtful and provocative book explores the relationship between music and the visual arts in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on the modernist period. Reassessing the work of composers and artists such as Richard Wagner, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Josef Matthias Hauer, and John Cage, Simon Shaw-Miller argues that despite modernisms advocacy of media purity and separation, the boundaries between art and music were permeable at this time, as they have been throughout history.Shaw-Miller begins by discussing the place of Wagners music and ideas at the time of the birth of modernism, presenting Wagners aesthetic of the Gesamtkunstwerk as an alternative paradigm for modernist art. He goes on to analyze Picassos use of musical subjects in his cubist works and Klees adoption of music and the issue of temporality in his paintings and drawings. He concludes with the radical aesthetic of Cage, the silencing of sound, and the promotion of intermediality in the work of Fluxus artists. Through these fascinating examples, Shaw-Miller raises questions about both art and music history that will be of interest to students of both disciplines.

    Eye hEar, The Visual in Music employs the concept of the visual in proximate relation to music, producing a tension: is it not the case that there is a gulf between painting and music, between the visible and the audible? One is full of colour and light yet silent; one is invisible and marvellously noisy. Such a belief, this book argues.
