Between painting and music: the synthesis of the arts

[Станиславский]

A striking example of the organic synthesis of painting and music was the work of the great Lithuanian and Russian composer and artist Mikalyusa Čiurlionis (1875-1911). In his paintings there is movement, such movement and development of musical themes. This is especially evident in cycles of paintings, sonatas, and his form approaching the major forms of music ( "Spring Sonata" "Sonata stars", "Sea Sonata" "Sonata in the sun"). And his "Fugue" is built on the principle of musical counterpoint and even visually resembles the score of fugue.
