Visible Deeds of Music: Art and Music from Wagner to Cage

by Simon Shaw-Miller, Simon Miller, Simon Shaw Miller

Book Overview

This provocative book explores the cross-fertilization between music and the visual arts in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Reassessing the work of a wide range of composers and artists including Richard Wagner, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and John Cage, Simon Shaw-Miller demonstrates how the boundaries between art and music were permeable at this time, enabling each to enrich the other.
