Der Blaue Reiter – At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Franz Marc: The Dream (1912)

“…the allegory represented by The Dream is not overly explicit. As Klaus Lankheit suggests, it is more of a poetic image without any rational meaning. The scene takes place in the middle of the night, as indicated by the marked blackness of the background sky. The yellow house on the left may symbolise the real…

Enya: How Can I Keep From Singing?

“Founded on an interest in folk art and in particular in the Bavarian folk tradition of Hinterglasmalerei or under-glass painting that Kandinsky and Gabrielle Münter had discovered in Murnau, Kandinsky, in addition to trying the technique himself, began to adopt many of the glass painter’s themes and subject matter in his own art. Adopting their…

Teasdale, Tin, and Memley: There Will Come Soft Rain, Part I

“There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum-trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not…

Beethoven: String Quartet No. 13, Op. 130, V. Cavatina, Adagio molto espressivo

“From the early 1910s onwards, Kandinsky turned his back on the depiction of the world of external appearances, embarking instead on the creation of wholly-abstract canvases, like Painting with Three Spots, which led to his being hailed as the great pioneer of non-objective art. These works express Kandinsky’s desire to create a pictorial equivalent of…

Allan Clayton: Ingenious Bee, from Berenice, HWV 38 (Handel)

Vedi l’ape ch’ingegnosa Su quei for vola e riposa Dove più trova d’umor. Ne si arresta ancor che bello Sembri a lei di questo e quello Solo e semplice il color. Consider the bee, who cunningly flits among the flowers and rests wherever it suits him best. He never stops on account of how beautiful…

Wassily Kandinsky: Improvisation on Mahogany (1910)

“Kandinsky’s first major breakthrough was his discovery that color, when disassociated from representational concerns, could become the principal subject of a painting. Taking his cue from musical composition, Kandinsky determined that every color corresponded with a particular emotion or “sound.” “Color becomes increasingly crucial. [… They] transport the subject to the sphere of dream and legend….

Paul Klee: The Lamb (1920)

“The lamb is walking through the colourful stripy cosmos as if it were a lost child. The cross above its head evokes God’s Lamb, which traditionally symbolises Christ’s sacrificial death. However, the religious content in Klee’s work is controversial as the painter did not express a particular religious standpoint. The comparison of the artist and…

Paul Klee: Tropical Blossom (1920)

Color possesses me. I don’t have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Colour and I are one. I am a painter. Paul Klee: Quote (Tunisia, 16 April 1914), # 926, in: The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918, transl. Pierre B. Schneider, R.Y….
