MAGRITTE AND MUSIC
…and making indirect connections. From his Art Deco sheet music covers for foxtrots and tangos, to his surrealist paintings evoking sound such as La Leçon de Musique (a floating ear on a bell) - these works will be 'accompanied' by the music of Piazzolla, Couperin and we'll hear Edgar Varése’s Arcana, written precisely during the years when surrealism emerged from Dadaism in France and Belgium – inspired by a dream sequence.
WATTEAU REVISITED
Jean-Antoine Watteau is best remembered as a painter of the fête galante – dreamlike compositions of depictions of aristocrats at play in the outdoors. Almost a third of Watteau’s works feature musicians. We look at his La Leçon de musique, Les Charmes de la vie and Le Mezzetin of Commedia dell'Arte fame which inspired Debussy’s Masques. Many of Watteau’s musicians played either the guitar or theorbo and we’ll hear Les folies d’Espagne by Marin Marais arranged for guitar, and Robert de Visée’s Suite in C minor for the strange, but enchanting theorbo.
