ASPECTS OF MUSICAL ART INFLUENCE ON THE CREATIVITY OF ARTISTS IN THE LATE 19TH–20TH CENTURIES

Abstract

The article is dedicated to studying the influence of musical art on the creative process and aesthetic perceptions of artists in painting from the late 19th to the 20th centuries, with a focus on synesthetic artists. The research aims to reveal the interconnection between musical impressions and visual art. Various aspects of using music as a source of inspiration and the influence of musical composition elements on the creation of images in the works of synesthetic artists are analyzed within the study. This research explores how synesthetic artists utilize music as a source of inspiration and how elements of musical composition – rhythm, harmony, and structure – shape the imagery within their art. By investigating these aspects, the study sheds light on the multifaceted ways music informs the creative process in art, ultimately revealing the singular perspective that synesthesia brings to the world of artistic creation. These results indicate the necessity to consider not only music but also visual arts in light of their interaction concerning the influence of synesthetic sensations on artists’ creative methods. For synesthetic artists, music is not simply a source of inspiration; it is an integral part of the creative process. They use music to evoke emotions, create atmosphere, and develop ideas. The specific ways in which they do this vary depending on the individual artist. Some synesthetic artists use music to create a visual representation of the sounds they hear. Others use music to generate a mood or feeling that they then translate into images. Still others use music to structure their art, using the rhythm and tempo of the music to dictate the pacing of their work. The study of synesthesia in art is significant for several reasons. First, it provides a unique insight into the creative process of artists. By undershow synesthetic artists perceive and use music, we can gain a better understanding of how art is created. Second, the study of synesthesia can help us to appreciate the richness and complexity of art. By understanding how music can be used to create visual imagery, we can develop a deeper appreciation for the art we experience. Finally, the study of synesthesia can help us to understand the relationship between the senses and how they can be used to create art. By understanding how synesthesia can merge the senses, we can gain a new perspective on the world around us.
