The Culture Show has been making direct connections between art inspired by music and music inspired by art. Now it’s time for more - unexpected connections...The Culture Show is continuing its look at how the visual arts and music are so connected - sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly. We have unearthed a wealth of examples, yet we have so much more to explore. I hope that for those of you who join me for the music – much of which has never been, or is very seldom played on Radio 4 – you will also develop my passion for art. Join me, Stacey Rodda, Sunday nights at 7 pm for The Culture Show.
Caillebotte & Caillebotte
In this episode we are going to look at only one painting - Young Man Playing the Piano (1876) by Gustave Caillebotte. Caillebotte was considered an Impressionist, but painted in a more realistic manner, his family and friends, the bourgeois pedestrians strolling in his neighbourhood, the workers who came to his house... This painting, with its exquisite portrayal of light coming through the window, pictures his brother Martial - a composer whose music we will hear in this episode – a unique piece of words and music that is absolutely rare and stunning - Une Journée.

The Piano in Paintings
This week we look at some more famous artworks featuring the – piano. The piano has long been a muse for painters. From 19th-century bourgeois salons to Cubist deconstructions and Surrealist dreams, this instrument has found itself at the center of artistic exploration time and again: in a private salon painted by Renoir; Matisse’s abstracted wartime meditation; Magritte’s wife sat at one; and Dali’s vision featuring a melted one along with Richard Wagner and a mysterious monarch lurking beneath. We’ll hear music by Debussy, Chopin, Satie and Wagner.
