The genre we will be turning to for the next few weeks is sculpture.
Sculptures pertaining to music range from classical composer monuments and figural depictions of musicians to abstract, interactive, and sound-producing installations. This week we travel to the United States for Virtuoso by David Adickes; The Spirit of Music by Albin Polasek; Untitled (Jazz Musicians) by John Spaulding; and ‘Phoenix’ by Louis Halleux. To accompany these ‘viewings’ we will hear music by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Richard Strauss, a jazz standard with Wes Montgomery, and extracts from Paul Patterson’s Phoenix Concerto (for oboe).

DEGAS AND DANCE
Degas represented dancers in almost all mediums. For him the moving figure was the most compelling challenge, and in dance he found his ideal subject. Degas also sought to capture fleeting moments in the flow of modern life, yet he showed little interest in painting plein-air landscapes, favoring scenes in theaters and other venues illuminated by artificial light.
Degas was personally interested in dance. He followed productions closely and critically, both at the Opéra and elsewhere yet, very few of his depictions of dance show an actual performance. Instead, the artist hovers behind the wings, backstage, in class, or at a rehearsal. We’ll find out why.
