Memo-1633 |

Type: |
Bach Painting |
Title: |
Disks of Newton (Study for "Fugue in Two Colors") |
Description: |
Oil on canvas.
The modern Czech painter Frantisek Kupka aspired to do in color what J.S. Bach had done in sound: create pure form. Nothing so grand as a Mass or a chorale perhaps, but something more akin to a fugue, something in which the music becomes its own subject. Traditionally, from Giotto to Picasso, painting had always begun with an object and then, based on the artist's creative vision, the object was translated to a two-dimensional surface. The object could be imitated, duplicated, edited, distorted, but the picture always maintained its origins. |
