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.
The Culture Show - continually connecting visual art and music
Summer is here and it’s time to get out those fashionable straw hats – but don’t wear yours anywhere near a horse! In this episode we try on some of Picasso’s straw hats and hear Jacques Ibert’s Divertissement written for a production of Labiche's stage comedy ‘The Italian Straw Hat’ in 1929. The suite evokes the farce's absurd plot, where a wedding-day tryst is upended by a horse eating a woman's straw hat, sparking a frantic search amid escalating comedy.
And there’s more from Ibert by way of his Symphonic Suite for Orchestra – Paris, accompanied by the artwork of Hector Guimard, designer of the Paris Metro entrances; Jean-François Raffaëlli’s take on Parisian Suburbs; Louis Deutsch’s Mosque; Hugo Birger’s snapshot of a crowded café in a park; John Stewart’s image of a luxurious ocean liner and; Louis Abel-Truchet’s evocation of Montmartre's nightlife during the Belle Époque era.
These paintings complement Ibert’s music brilliantly.
