HEARING ART
Seeing Music
by David Banney
THE LECTURE​
Leonardo and Palestrina, Picasso and Stravinsky—art and music have always followed parallel paths, with music trailing slightly behind. This lecture traces the major historical movements of the last 1,000 years, exploring the connections between sound and visual art. How can we ‘hear’ perspective or ‘see’ sonata form? What does Rothko sound like, and what does Philip Glass look like? And why does music always seem to take longer to catch up?
