Musicians in Paintings
We will look at an old guitarist in a painting of Picasso and a man with a violin by Georges Braque, who, by the way, are also connected.
As for rarely heard music on Radio 4 - the Picasso painting is complemented by a selection of Miguel Llobet’s Catalonian Folk Songs played by guitarist Lorenzo Gasparo, and Braque's work by one of his contemporaries, Ravel. Ravel’s music, particularly works like La Valse, shares structural parallels with the artist's Cubism through fragmentation, angularity, and the "re-assembly" of traditional musical forms. We will hear La Valse in an arrangement for piano trio.

We are back to exploring connections between music and art and in this episode we do that through the works of Czech artist František Kupka connected to J.S. Bach. Kupka had an important part in proliferating abstraction at the beginning of the 20th century and his search for a new artistic language that could transmit intensity and musicality through colours and shapes, made him a true innovator within abstraction.
