Can you draw a “correlation” between some of the great composers, and some of the great painters?
Again, disregarding a correlation of time periods, as another has already pointed out, since there are often different developments in the arts which are not common to one era…. I would liken Michelangelo’s pushing the limit to the ultimate near-distortion of the human figure to Beethoven’s balls-out pushing the envelope of classical forms of sonata and symphony. Like Michelangelo’s work, it left little or no room for the following artists to go anywhere except an extreme distortion, or a retro-mannerism, like Raphael. Stravinsky is often likened to Cubism, but I would say that is only a somewhat valid comparison for Petrushka and or Le Sacre, and does not apply to any of his later work. The oft-applied analogy of impressionism in art and music (Debussy et al) I think is incorrect. The more apt analogy for this school of painting would be to the later pointillism in music from about the 1950’s, or perhaps some of Webern. just 2 cents toward a much more involved question, and its list
