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.

By listening to the featured work with its corresponding artwork in mind, we can appreciate the depth of inspiration that visual art has provided to the music, creating a richer and more all-enveloping experience. The work is Dutch composer Louis Andriessen’s De Stijl - a tribute to the Dutch artistic movement of the same name, particularly the work of Piet Mondrian - a musical image of Piet Mondrian’s 'Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue' (1927), but exclusively on a conceptual basis. And we continue with highlights from Andriessen’s opera Writing to Vermeer, the 17th-century Dutch painting master who created several works portraying women writing or reading letters
