Art inspired by music. Music inspired by art.
We know that artists can take emotions and atmospheres evoked by sound and interpret them into something visual, as can composers recreate with sound, images from a canvas or other form of visual art. The possibilities are endless… The Culture Show continues to make connections between these two art forms.

As we continue to make connections between the visual arts and music, on this programme we look at the artist Marc Chagall and the influence music had on his creative processes in the first part of a two part series. Chagall loved the music of Bach, Mozart and also Ravel, and his collaborations by way of classical music are many.
Art publisher Tériade commissioned Chagall to illustrate the Greek legend of Daphnis et Chloé, the love story between a goatherd Daphnis and the shepherdess Chloé. Around the same time he was creating his 42 lithographs, the Paris Opera requested that Chagall design the sets and costumes for a new production of Ravel’s ballet of Daphnis et Chloé. The artist’s experience with the ballet clearly emerges in his fluid and elegant portrayal of the figures in his illustrations.

Music inspired by visual art...
We couple Max Reger's 'In the Play of the Waves' from his Four Tone Poems Op. 128 to Arnold Bocklin's painting 'Playing in the Waves', and Debussy's 'Play of the Waves' from La Mer to Hokusai's 'The Great Wave' (Under the Wave off Kanagawa).
Compared to Debussy’s La Mer written a few years earlier, Reger pursued the flamboyant realm of mythical creatures, but both works have a similar sparkling orchestral character.
We actually take a look at the four Bocklin works that led Reger to compose his atmospheric pictures and take note of Hokusai's inspiration for the whole of Debussy's La Mer.
The connections continue...
