Quote by Brian Eno
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Summary
During the early 1900s, prominent painters aspired to create artworks that emulated the emotional and transcendent qualities found in music. In that era, music enjoyed immense prestige and was regarded as the most elevated form of art. Painters sought to capture the same depth, rhythm, and profound impact that music could evoke in its audiences, recognizing the power of melodic compositions to move and resonate with individuals on a profound level. This ambition reflected the desire to push the boundaries of traditional visual arts and explore new ways to elicit emotional responses from viewers.
