The historic encounter around 1911 between the composer Arnold Schonberg and the painter Wassily Kandinsky occurred at a moment when the first wild revolts against traditional art - Dada and Futurism - had just manifested themselves. This volume is a collection of the papers presented at the conference on Schonberg and Kandinsky at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague in January 1993. The conference focused on the varying aspects of the avant-garde from 1910 to 1913, when both Schonberg and Kandinsky formulated their far-reaching views on the ways in which music and painting should develop, and discussed their common interest in new theatrical forms of presentation.

A must have book for 20th century's art comprehension,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Schonberg and Kandinsky: An Historic Encounter (Contemporary Music Studies) (Hardcover)
Excellent contents, deep and acessible. Based on a 1993's symposium concerning the interdisciplinarity between Kandinsky's paintings and Schoenberg's music, specially in first decade of 20th century. Schonberg and Kandinsky: An Historic Encounter (Contemporary Music Studies) brings elucidative articles, analysis of some paintings, scores with exemples and more. I didn't finished the reading yet, but in 2 years researching about this is the best book I saw and probably the best book ever released about the theme.And if you're interested about this subject, I personally recommend Arnold Schoenberg and Kandinsky. Good Readings!
