| Improvisational music such as jazz and blues had a considerable impact on the visual arts during the first half of the 20th century. From mid-century onward, however, the impact in question has turned increasingly into interactions or correspondences between the two artistic forms. With a particular focus on the implications of the term “improvisation,” this course will explore the multiple types of correspondences in different media (painting, photography, video, film) between the two disciplines in the latter part of the twentieth century. Discussions of “allographic” versus “autographic” works and the theoretical premise of “framing” will enable students to interrogate the varying status of correspondences between the visual arts and improvisational music. |
