In this episode we revisit Gustav Klimt and look at two of his paintings. Music (1895) is a captivating representation of Klimt’s early explorations into the synergy of art and music. And, we look at Klimt's Schubert at the Piano (1899) - his portrayal of the musician. Delights by Beethoven and Schubert make the connection between the two art forms.
SAINT CECILIA
The first part of a 3 part series on St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. The series showcases diverse interpretations of music from Baroque grandeur to 21st-century reverence, and looks at a selection of the many visual masterpieces that have been created to honour her.

In this episode we continue our look at Czech artist Frantisek Kupka (1871-1957) and how music influenced his works. The relationship between music and painting became increasingly important to Kupka throughout his career. He drew parallels between the processes of creating music and art, naming a number of his paintings after compositional techniques. He also used music to directly inspire his work, visualizing the rhythms and tones that he heard.
