| From the inception of Goldberg, no reader can have failed to be aware of the strong connection the magazine makes between music and painting. The lavish illustrations that accompany every article have always sought to place the topic within some kind of pictorial context. At times we have gone further, with articles that make a direct connection between the two arts.
The links between music and painting, between musicians and artists are many and varied. Artists across the ages have depicted musical instruments and their performance on them, often providing valuable iconographic evidence as to their construction or the method by which they were played. In some cases musicians and artists have shown a keen interest in the other’s art, especially in the nineteenth century, when a painter like Delacroix, himself a gifted pianist and violinist, seemed as happy to write about music as he did his own discipline. |
