Synchronism: The Art movement of visually portraying sound
I have chosen to write my essay on the art
movement Synchronism; this is mainly because I am interested in what the
artists are actually trying to portray: using
shapes and colours to show the emotion and movement of music.
Synchronism seems really
interesting as it focuses on give image to something that can’t be seen, the
fact that synchronism is so closely related to music and sound intrigues me
because when I draw or paint, I am always listening to music, because it helps
me to feel more creative, and in turn, in my opinion makes my artwork better.
The free style of
Synchronism is very interesting as it does not rely on lines or restrictions;
they rely on just colour and shape to form their paintings. The lack of
perspective in the paintings makes them feel abstract, yet familiar due to what
emotions they are showing.
Stanton MacDonald-Wright and Morgan Russell were the founding fathers of synchronism; they took influence from their teacher, Percyval Tudor-Hart who taught his own colour theory which connects music and colour. The Impressionists also inspired MacDonald-Wright and Russell due to their heavy use of colour.
