The Phenomenon of Musical Painting in Abstract Art and Animation
Investigating the retrospective, generalising the expression of visualisation of music and analysing the relationship of sound and image in this work, the author seeks to support contemporary art. Structurally, the article consists of three parts. The fi rst one deals with the historical background of the origin of musical painting, gives an explanation of the concepts associated with the origin of musical painting. In the second part, in order to more clearly explain the difference between different types of musical painting, the author selected several artists who are characteristic representatives of different movements, their connection with music is demonstrated by the example of concrete paintings. In the third part, having set forth and analysed the development history and artistic features of abstract animation, the author considers animation as a phenomenon expressing the dynamics of painting, and summarises methods for music visualisation. Musical painting and abstract animation studied in this work are advanced art forms that began to develop in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.
