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.
