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.

DEBUSSY/ WHISTLER - WATTEAU
The Culture Show continues its exploration of symbiotic relationships between examples of visual art and classical music this week with Debussy and two artists.
James Abbot McNeill Whistler created a series of dark, atmospheric paintings of nighttime landscapes that he called "Nocturnes.” Debussy in turn, titled his orchestral work "Trois Nocturnes” revealing the influence of this painters’ sensibilities on his own thinking, with regard to reliance on light, mystery, and impression to characterise his music.
Debussy was an admirer of Antoine Watteau who created scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, and found inspiration through his art too, in particular the painting of L'embarquement pour Cythère which impacted his L’isle joyeux.
