When The Moon Sings - February 1, 2020

Art as a Muse for Music (pt. I)

Musicians, as artists, often are inspired by other artists — no matter the genre or medium — just as visual artists have been inspired by music. Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky, for example, used the language of music in his Concerning the Spiritual in Art to explore and enrich what he and others painted on canvas. Thus, it’s sometimes hard to define where one art form ends and another begins. The songs on this week’s When the Moon Sings showcase a handful of artists, from Japanese landscape painters and surrealists to a modern-day multimedia icon.
