Impressionism and Wagner’s Holistic Conception of Art (Gesamtkunswerk)
Week 4: Music as a paradigm and the interaction of 20th century movements and auditory arts. It has influenced many thinkers, artists and scientists since ancient times. The physical proximity between them has been the subject of scientific research, and their common sensory characteristics have brought these two fields closer to each other in the light of art historical developments.
In this four-week program (February 25-February 4-11-March 18, 2014, 11.00-13.00), we embark on a historical journey through the intersections of art and music. We will examine how both disciplines approach each other in thought and practice with a broad perspective from Antiquity to Renaissance, Newton’s color theory, Synesthesia, and the twentieth-century trends that aim at a universal art vision.
