Both music and modern painting represent nothing but the elements of which they are made: colors, lines, surfaces and spaces, subjects, sounds, stamps, movement over time, lights and shadows, clear and dark, strong and adage, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, hot and cold, high and low, in short, all those phenomena that most directly influence and orient our existence every day, because they constitute the essential aspects of the reality in We orient, through our senses and our intelligence.
Both music and painting turn to each other rather than reason, a faculty that must be put aside when you approach art, if you want to have a real aesthetic experience, without prejudice.
