This is a fascinating and superbly illustrated catalogue that examines the influence of modern abstract art on the music of Morton Feldman. Morton Feldman is widely considered to be one of the most influential composers of the 20th-century. During his long career he was closely associated with a number of visual artists - particularly those connected with the New York School. Revolving around a project he curated in 1967 entitled "Six Painters", this superbly illustrated catalogue examines the impact that modern abstract art had on Feldman's own musical compositions. Featuring works from the original six painters (Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Piet Mondrian, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko) and from other artists Feldman admired, as well as number of essays and interviews, "Vertical Thoughts" is a fascinating insight into the work and legacy of one of modern music's most innovative composers.

Paperback. Etat : New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 320 pp. ; 196 illus. (138 in color. ) -- with a bonus offer--; If any music can be said to be painterly, it is that of Morton Feldman (1926-1987), one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. Feldman (1926-1987) was deeply immersed in the milieu of New York Abstract Expressionism, and found analogies in sound to the materiality of Pollock, the gravitas of Rothko and the hesitant, venturing brushstrokes of Guston. Taking as its departure point an exhibition Feldman curated in 1967 titled Six Painters, Vertical Thoughts considers the impact that postwar American art had on Feldman's own compositions. It features works by the titular six painters--Guston, Kline, Mondrian, de Kooning, Pollock and Rothko--and by other artists whom Feldman admired, such as Kitaj, Rauschenberg and Twombly. Also reproduced are works from Feldman's own collection, including his Middle Eastern and Asian rugs, archival photographs and ephemera, musical scores and record covers of compositions dedicated to artists such as Guston and Rothko, and interviews with and writings by Feldman himself.
