The connections between music and the visual arts intensified during the emergence and flowering of modernism. The Music of Painting explores how artists sought to translate musical rhythms and structures into painting, and how musicians developed visual themes in their compositions. Peter Vergo analyzes individual pieces of music and works of art, from Paul Signac's musical seascapes and Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser to Wassily Kandinsky's abstract paintings and John Cage's silent piano piece 4'33". The Music of Painting is an accessible and insightful exploration of ideas, which studies the many links between the two disciplines as envisaged not only by visual artists and musicians but also by critics, writers and philosophers.
