Actually now that I think of it I never call anything I make a piece. Only other people's. I call all my finished digital art (fully painted) "drawings". Same applies to traditional media. My oil paintings are just "paintings" or even "drawings". Charcoal/ink is definitely a drawing too. Piece sounds so formal, I just never think about using it for something I made.

[@bonniekweenie880]

boys got amazing senses combining 2 forms of art, but I think you still need some more knowledge in visual art studies. 1. Van Gogh was Dutch yes and he also lived, learned and got much inspired in France. 2. what you felt missing on Starry Night is sth on edge, because of Van Gogh's (rather unstable) mental status. 3. we have specific courses in museum studies called Risk Management, to protect the artworks. and you have no idea how detailed they are. 4. in Psycho the attacked woman was screaming, and the music mimicing the attack; in the Munch the subject was hearing the environment screaming around them. 5. the Dutch Mona Lisa, is also because the 2 paintings are similarly in small sizes. some works can be surprisingly large too. so that's why you should walk into museums and see them in real eyes. 6. synopsis, we call it iconography. 7. for the art of curating exhibitions, music is included, and not so rarely. many curators like to use multiple senses, visuals, sounds, smells, touches. 8. did your editors realize they picked mostly in categories of Renaissance and Contemporary? I believe you guys will have more fun with Neoclassicism or Baroque. Even for the contemporary/modern 20th century, you skipped the fun parts like Picasso and Martisse.

Imagine an exhibit where they play music that suits with the painting, like they let people borrow mp3 players and they just let people listen to the music while looking at the paintings.

[@Misakigi]

Allow me to nerd out for a moment: Actually, many scientific studies have been done researching the impact music has on the buyer’s subconscious AND how music affects perception of food taste. For example...a wine shop played French music and noticed buyers were more likely to buy French wines, but when asked if the music affected their choices, they denied it. A famous wine tasting experience spent a lot of effort and money on interior decoration and music for each different room to make sure the surrounding visuals and audio matched the food being tasted in that room. At final auction, they made 2-3x more than their projected yield. British Airlines researched how to make their first class food experience better (bc your taste buds don’t work as well at high altitude) and served a multi course meal paired with specific music. And there was a separate study that found people in their study liked Taylor Swift (pop music) with Chinese food. A restaurant served a dish called “Sounds of the Sea” and gave customers a conch shell with an iPod and earbuds playing the sound of waves hitting the shore. Customers said it enhanced their perception of being at the beach. Obviously, each study was done with specific nationalities so I would expect if tests were duplicated results would be different but I digress... All this research bc well-to-do corporate and niche companies are interested in using sound to heighten the visual and eating experiences bc it yields more money. There’s so much we don’t understand about the power of sound and music in general bc there are so many factors-too many to test in order to see trends or satisfactory results. That’s why you don’t see much research related to other things...like pairing music with art. Not as much money to be made. Also, I have seen some museums pair music with paintings but it’s more likely to happen in a modern art museum than older art genres. I enjoyed TwoSets version, although I do think based off my extra background knowledge of art history I would have made some different choices to also include the painter’s intentions.

[@fashionmwah]

I wish I could “love” your comment and not just “thumbs up” it. I agree with everything you said. However, I’d like to mention that some people do a better job of overriding subconscious influence than others so they don’t make purchases that they didn’t want initially. P.S. I would have made different choices, too, like for Starry Night. Whenever I think of Van Gogh, I think of his mental status, so I truly would have made a difference choice.

This is simultaeneously the most intellectual, the most innocent, the most nerdy, and the most heartwarming activity I've seen you guys do in a long time. There is a lot of pontification and obfuscation surrounding both "high art" and "classical music" and the creators behind these fields, but there is something far more sincere about this than any appreciative documentary I've ever seen for either and it's really charming. You're a pair of young men sitting down to match paintings and pieces of music, for no other purpose than fun, getting deeply involved and completely enjoying your game. You've got nothing to teach or to prove, you're just openly enjoying and studying art and sharing your enjoyment with us, which is a more honest and valuable payback to these artists than anything else I can think of.

[@aurweon]

Apparently Pollock created his art not with an image in mind, but just wanted to focus on the process - the end result was an afterthought. He created by dipping brushes in paint and splattering all over the canvas, just for the heck of it, for the feeling of movement and freedom he felt while he was splattering paint. So I say jazz fits his work. That or incomplete / discarded pieces by musicians, because I feel like the intention of Pollock's art is similar to the process of trying to create a musical piece, but I figure classical musicians would refine their complete compositions instead of leaving them to be all messy like Pollock's paintings.

The last painting “The Kiss” @12:29 would go well with Mahler’s 10th symphony (adagio). The loving gesture and the tenderness goes well with the symphony theme-the strings especially emphasized the glistening artwork which was painted with gold-while the eventual dissonant chord unveiled the hidden danger as hinted in the artwork that the woman was kneeling at the edge. Klimt is Mahler’s contemporary and close friend with Mahler’s wife. Both named Gustav, both Viennese, and both moving away from traditional style (Vienna Secession vs modernism in 20th century music).

[@jaceyking5015]

As a member of the Visual Arts Gang, this video made me exceedingly happy. A couple of notes: 1) I'm not sure if Van Gogh's painting style had a name for the stroke technique he used, but Van Gogh had a heavy use of _impasto_ which means to lay paint on very thick (when you see one of his pieces in person, it takes on a whole other dimension) and he worked primarily _alla prima_ or wet-on-wet where you paint quickly and don't allow the layers to dry in between. 2) Museums have a _lot_ of insurance on their paintings and other measures to keep them safe. There are times when art is stolen and never recovered (check out Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, it's fascinating) and there have been times when art was destroyed in a fire (such as an 18th century painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds when a fire broke out at the Huntington Museum in the 80's), but art conservation is an incredible thing, the lengths people will go to upkeep and fix old paintings, even ones that have holes punched in them or ripped to shreds (See Baumgartner Restoration here on KZbin). Also, and this is just speculation on my part, but I would imagine that Hokusai's _The Great Wave_ was selected as the Cover Art for Debussy's _La Mer_ score, because in 19th Century Europe, since Japan had opened back up to the West, Japanese artifacts and woodblock prints were ALL the rage and influenced all sorts of artists, from Van Gogh to Cassatt and everybody in between (there's even an art term for this- _Japonisme_ ) Also, also, one of my favorite pieces of classical music is Mussorgsky's _Pictures at an Exhibition,_ which I think does an excellent job of invoking the feeling of walking around a gallery and taking in all the art. Really excellent.

[@dpainter1526]

Fascinating information! But I think you accidentally confused Kurosawa ( the filmaker) with Hokusai ( the painter). :-)

Do you know which song specifically is in the video?

[@audreyxinyi]

I had nothing better to do on a Sunday evening so I had a go at matching each artwork to a piece of music: 1. *Mona Lisa - Franz Schubert 'Grazer Fantasie'* 2. *Starry Night - Debussy 'Arabesque no. 1'* 3. *The Scream - Berlioz 'Symphony Fantastique, Dream of a Witches Sabbath'.* I mean, it's hard to top the Psycho soundtrack to fit with this one, that's what came to my mind first as well. But this is a close second. 4. *The Last Supper - Allegri 'Miserere mei, Deus'* 5. *Girl with Pearl Earring - Hildegard von Bingen 'Ave generosa'* 6. *The Thinker - Mahler 'Symphony 10'.* Bit of backstory, he died before he could finish this (the 9th symphony curse strikes again), so it's hard to know how different it would have sounded had he finished it himself. I also played this piece in my uni orchestra and I couldn't make sense of it at first. The violin part opens with this strange melody with unpredictable intervals. But the more we played it I felt like I started to tune into it more...or maybe it was because I was just playing it more in tune. 5. *No. 5 - Steve Reich 'Music for 18 musicians'* 6. *The Birth of Venus - Puccini 'O Mio Babbino Caro'* 7. *The Persistence of Memory - John Adams 'Phrygian Gates'.* I feel the sense of time melting away when I listen to this. 8. *The Creation of Adam - Handel’s Messiah 'Hallelujah Chorus'* 9. *The Great Wave of Kanagawa - Mendelssohn's Overture 'The Hebrides'.* It gets more dramatic around 6 minutes in. 10. *The Kiss - Mascagni 'Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana'*
