Vom Klang der Bilder
In the organizer's words:
The points of contact between the visual arts and music in the 20th century extend far beyond the fragmentation of instruments in Cubism or the portraits of musicians and composers. Rather, both art forms enrich and inspire each other in a dynamic interaction.
In particular, the development of abstraction at the beginning of the century reveals a fruitful dialog between the two arts: The liberation from the object allows the visual arts to transfer musical structures, compositional laws, rhythmic movements or sound forms into the visual. Artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka and Robert Delaunay recognized that colors - like sounds - have their own sound quality and evoke emotions with their great power.
The dialogical interaction did not cease in the second half of the 20th century and analogies between concepts such as composition, rhythm, repetition, contrast, harmony, hue or color tone can still be established, particularly in non-representational painting. At the same time, a new approach to sound and tone emerged, which was taken up again after the Second World War in particular. Loud, manipulated instruments or everyday objects were used to produce sound. The breaking down of genre boundaries in Fluxus also led to experimental and innovative implementations.
