ART CONNECTIONS
Chromaticism in Western music describes the concept of composing music that features the use of all (or most of the) twelve named notes. The root “chroma” means color. In visual art, we will use a word like monochromatic to describe works that use only one color or at least project that idea. Ligeti composed the eleven-part Musica Ricercarta with an increasing degree of melodic complexity, starting with its first piece that uses only two notes. With this in mind, we will project a collection of images that mirrors Ligeti’s chromatic progression. The works come from three current exhibitions, Feminist Forms: Contemporary Sculpture from the Permanent Collection, From Her Innermost Self: Visionary Art of Southern Women, and Mother Earth as Art.
ABOUT THE MUSEUM
The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University offers students, faculty and the wider community impactful opportunities to engage with a diverse visual and decorative arts collection spanning centuries, genres and materials, with works by such renowned artists as John James Audubon, Roger Brown, Elizabeth Catlett, Howard Finster, Mary Proctor, Robert Rauschenberg, Diego Rivera, Kara Walker and Andy Warhol. The original core of the museum’s permanent collection—36 modernist paintings purchased by the university in 1946 from the U.S. State Department’s “Advancing American Art” collection—includes works by Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence and Georgia O’Keeffe.
