A Potpourri of Paintings and Piano Music

Here we look at Renoir’s extremely romantic and sensual couple in his Dance at Bougival; Sunday Afternoon on the Island La Grande Jatte by Seurat with his figures and forms created by dots and dashes of complementary colors laid side by side; Composition VII by Kandinsky, a reflection of the tumultuous political and social climate of the time; Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring – but is it a pearl, or glass?; Portrait of Dr Gachet by Van Gogh expressing his world-weariness and profound sense of melancholy; and Picasso’s The Charnel House affected by revelations of the real-life charnel houses of the holocaust.

These works are accompanied by music inspired by them.
