Abstract
Horace Judson (1931–2011)
Highlights
The composer awakens with the ever-present specter of Beethoven; the artist with that of Manet
In a ‘‘new’’ field, such as molecular biology, anything that happened more than three weeks ago is ancient history
Manet learned from Velasquez, Goya, and Watteau. Picasso said his goal was to ‘‘make over Poussin based on nature.’’ In his manifesto of 1855 Coubert says, ‘‘I wanted to draw forth, from a complete acquaintance with tradition, the reasoned and independent consciousness of my own individuality.’’. Could it be that there is more of a mindful thread in painting and composing than in science?
Summary
The composer awakens with the ever-present specter of Beethoven; the artist with that of Manet. Scientists, I once heard, have an easier time of it than composers and artists. In a ‘‘new’’ field, such as molecular biology, anything that happened more than three weeks ago is ancient history (as Sidney Brenner once said).
