WHERE ART AND MUSIC COLLIDE
The connections we are making this week are with works created by Paul Cézanne, Henri Fantin-Latour, John Collier and Gabriel von Max, inspired by the story of Tannhäuser and Wagner’s music.
WHERE ART AND MUSIC COLLIDE
In this episode we look at Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette - a masterpiece of French Impressionism and a celebration of happiness and prosperity - a fête galante set in a 'modern' Paris park. We’ll hear ‘dance music’ by Offenbach, Berlioz and Ravel to set the mood.

Art and its impact on the music world continues...
In this episode we look at the work of Naum Gabo, a theorist and key figure in the development of 20th century sculpture. Gabo regarded music as ‘the highest and the most pure form of abstract art’ and, as the ultimate universal language of communication. We explore his 'Opus' series and the set design he created for Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes production of La Chatte, with music by Henri Sauguet.
