In his art, composer Arnold Schonberg was always eager to embrace the new and the unfamiliar. A characteristic feature of his music around 1910 was a quest for analogous forms in other media, a search which led him to shift from music to painting. The expressionist paintings he produced during this period garnered glowing praise from Kandinsky--and have lost none of their extraordinary power today, though they are rarely exhibited. Focusing on his self portraits and abstract works, this publication provides a welcome, analytic, and extensive view of Schonberg's highly influential and visionary oeuvre.

<p>Painters and musicians have always found inspiration by sharing ideas from both disciplines. How this relationship developed from Philipp Otto Runge's "compositions" in painting to Jean Tinguely's and Niki de Saint Phalle's musical sculptures is the focus of this illustrated volume. Carefully selected images and quotations from composers and artists are blended into a study useful to scholars of art history and music, and fascinating to the general reader.</p>
