The idea that music can be interpreted as space, color and form
sets the basis for its visual representation in figurative art.
The method hereby described finds in figurative landscape a methaphor and a language
to interpret music visually.
[Dynamic sketch on Mozart K550 » ]
It operates by identifying correspondeces between elements of
form and color in landscape and the equivalent elements in music: mapping"
the ones on the others.
The athmospheric, land and water masses offer an ever changing
architecture of forms and light always varied and in constant motion:
cirrus, cumulus clouds, plays of highlights and shadows on the terrain, richness
of everchanging chromatic effects, color registers for day, night, and season
changes...
They seem to capture in the visual world the phenomenology of music.
The interpretative method hereby presented is named "Caspar
Project" , paying homage to Caspar David Friedrich,
highest romantic painter of landscape as representation of the inner
self.
