"This is a fine book for students of art and music, which has been thoroughly researched and cogently written. It is also liberally illustrated with monochrome figures and a number of coulour plates."―Musical Opinions
"Over a long period, Peter Vergo has submitted music and the visual arts to sustained comparative analysis. Often on untrodden ground, for a time the only voice in British scholarship in this field, his work is consistently engaging and enlightening... Vergo teases logical sequences from dense histories – for instance the trajectory of Chopin-Delacroix-Baudelaire-Whistler-Debussy... The range and scope of the two volumes That Divine Order and The Music of Painting is astonishing... Together, these two volumes offer a dictionary of the subject that will be invaluable to scholarship for years to come. This latest study not only makes it clear once and for all the significance of the interchange of the arts, but, I would suggest, casts new light on Modernism itself."―The Burlington Magazine

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. The Western mind has been persistently fascinated by a supposed, yet elusive, point of connection between music and the visual arts. From ancient Greece, we receive the tradition of music taught as a discipline of mathematics, tones on a scale governed by the division of whole numbers. In the Middle Ages, the musical scale was understood as an image of Order - the perfect organization of the universe by the hand of God. Into the twentieth century, philosophers, artists, musicians, mathematicians and architects all alike have proposed various 'concerts for the eye' -- works of art created through the synthesis of color, form and the structure of music. Peter Vergo, a professor of art history and theory at Essex, 'makes direct and detailed comparisons between musical and pictorial practices in the long period covered by this book.' He examines the culture, practice and theory of music and the arts over time, and the result is a 'compelling exploration of ideas that reveals how deeply musical principles influenced the theory and criticism of the visual arts.' Appropriately, this book is beautiful to behold as well - a bit oversized, satisfyingly weighty, the book and jacket design expertly crafted. Seller Inventory # 20070607109033
