NO!art is a radical avant-garde anti-art movement started in New York in 1959. Its founders sought to deliver a shock to the complacent consumerist society around them. [1] The movement was initiated by Boris Lurie, Sam Goodman and Stanley Fisher who had come together to organise exhibitions at the March Gallery. They gave the name NO!Art to ...
Figuration Libre (French pronunciation: [fiɡyʁasjɔ̃ libʁ], Free Figuration) is a French art movement which began in the 1980s. It is the French equivalent of Bad Painting and Neo-expressionism in America and Europe, Junge Wilde in Germany and Transvanguardia in Italy. Artists in the movement typically incorporate elements of comic book art ...
Euler's Tonnetz. The Tonnetz originally appeared in Leonhard Euler's 1739 Tentamen novae theoriae musicae ex certissismis harmoniae principiis dilucide expositae.Euler's Tonnetz, pictured at left, shows the triadic relationships of the perfect fifth and the major third: at the top of the image is the note F, and to the left underneath is C (a perfect fifth above F), and to the right is A (a ...
The term is said to have been first used with regards to the movement in 1951. [1] It is often considered to be the European response and equivalent to abstract expressionism , [ 2 ] although there are stylistic differences (American abstract expressionism tended to be more "aggressively raw" than tachisme). [ 1 ]
Isorhythms first appear in French motets of the 13th century, such as in the Montpellier Codex. [1] Although 14th-century theorists used the words talea and color—the latter in a variety of senses related to repetition and embellishment [2] —the term isorhythm was coined in 1904 by musicologist Friedrich Ludwig, initially to describe the practice in 13th-century polyphony.
Each phrase is therefore a palindrome, though only the first pair of rows in the beginning of the movement is perfectly palindromic. [16] Vertical symmetry pervades the second movement, which is a canon. The pitches are arranged around the pitch axis of A4. Each downward reaching interval is replicated exactly in the opposite direction. [17]
In European art music, the common practice period was the period of about 250 years during which the tonal system was regarded as the only basis for composition. It began when composers' use of the tonal system had clearly superseded earlier systems, and ended when some composers began using significantly modified versions of the tonal system, and began developing other systems as well.
Alternatively, transpositional combinatoriality is the lack of shared pitch classes between a hexachord and one or more of its transpositions. For example, 0 2 4 6 8 t, and its transposition up one semitone (+1): 1 3 5 7 9 e, have no notes in common.
