Music and painting: A study in comparative ideas from Turner to Schoenberg

by Edward Lockspeiser

This book explores the connection between music and painting in the 19th century leading to Impressionism and abstract art. The author shows how this connection reaches back at least as far as Poussin, who based the technique of some of his pictures on the character of the musical modes.
